What Causes Blood Blisters Behind Ear?
Despite cleaning behind my ears, my right ear has gotten raw where it attaches to my head. It seems to get something like a blister which is usually filled with blood, which bursts periodically. I try keeping it clean but it doesn t seem to want to heal. What would cause this?

Hi dear ,
The symptoms you mention in query are probably due to abscess formation . An abscess develops when tissue or cells in an area of the body become infected. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper examination and to rule out condition like lymphadenopathy . Swelling in lymph nodes is the result of an infection. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics ( amoxicillin ) at least for week . For nor try to keep it dry and take tylenol for pain and swelling .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
get well soon.
Best Wishes,
