Suggest Remedies For A Scab Like Bump On The Ear Lobe
Dear Doctor, My younger sister has a scab like thing on her ear lobe. She complains of it itching, sometimes bleeding, it looks as if the skin on it is peeling. I placed hemorrhoid cream on it to help with the itching, however can you provide some other things that can aid in it going away.

Hello,
If it is a scab infection then the hemorrhoid cream doesn't work.
You should use permethrin cream to apply all over the body and let it for 14 hours.
Then you can rinse it.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
