What Causes Clear Fluid Discharge From Scalp And Swollen Earlobe?
Hi, I am an African American woman. The edges of my hair are leaking clear fluid. I have washed it very good, and also gave it a deep condition. They are still leaking the clear fluid. Also around on the top of my ear is a little swollen. What should I do?

Hi,
from history it seems that you might be having some infection on scalp like fungal infection, folliculitis producing oozing.
There might be having enlarged lymph node near ear due to this infection.
Clean the scalp with antiseptic lotion.
Go for one oral antibiotic medicine course for 3-5 days.
Take head bath with branded shampoo.
Ok and take care.
