What Causes Itching/pain In Outer Ear With History Of Ear Infection?
My husband has itching and pain of his outer ear. He was treated for an inner ear infection last march. The itching started after he used antibiotic drops. They also treated him for a fungus in his canal. This has been going on for six months. Should he go to a dermatologist? Could it be a resistant yeast infection?
