Suggest Treatment For Covering Of Pinna With White Crust Of Right Ear
My pinna is covered in white crust, but no scab. this only occurrs in my right ear. I put regular body (eucerin) lotion on it this morning but nothing changed. Since then I have gone for a swim in a chlorinated pool and a hot tub (if that makes a difference). I have eczema, and am on medications called methotrexate and humira (because I have Juvenile Rhuemetoid Arthritis). I am 14 years old. What do you recommend doing?

Hello,
It appears to be eczematous dermatitis in your ear..Ur treatment for eczema will be effective for this also. In the meantime you can start putting Olive oil in your ear, only one drop three times a day, it will help.
