What Could Be The Yellowish Discharge From The Ear?
I have yellow crust/crystal, like eye crust, forming from clear/yellow oozing from the skin around my earlobe and just inside my ear (not the canal). I was unaware of having a cut/wound on my ear and there is no sign of broken skin (other than the fact that it's dry and crusty). Vaseline seems to work at keeping it from being so dry but it has only gotten worse over 5 days even with that.

Hi, thank you for posting your query on health care magic.
Looking at the information provided by you,it seems most probably a bacterial infection of the skin of outer ear.
Apply antibiotic ointment like Soframycin over the yellow crusted region.
Take care.
