Suggest Remedy For Painful Scab In Ear

I have had issues off and on again with my ears for a while now. It started with what seemed like just a lot of wax build-up, it would happen in both ears and different times, they d get so plugged up and nothing would work to get rid of it. Eventually it would go away but the past month when I would wake up in the morning and I had been sleeping on my right side that ear would be plugged and this time it was easy to get rid of, basically just tug on the ear a bit and it was okay. A week or two ago I noticed a scab in my ear. I maybe mistakenly picked at it, got rid of it, and immediately could feel something, I assume to be wax, coming back into that same spot and it would dry up again right away. I have been messing with my ear too much trying to get rid of this thing so now I have not only a horrible scab but there is swelling and a lot of pain. I read online it may be psoriasis but that s just from reading other people s stories. What do I do to make this go away?? Is going in to a doctor the only option now? My insurance won t cover it...

Hi,
I have gone through your query; it suggests that your scab in ear may be due to the trauma.
Just take antibiotic and anti inflammatory drug for five days after consulting your doctor.
If you want my suggestion then send me the image of that scab.

Thanks
