What Causes Discharge From The Ear?
Hi, I have noticed discharge from behind my right earlobe. It is smelly at times. If I press it with cotton it dries up and then when I peel the dried up skin behind the earlobe, the discharge begins again. I ve tried to look whats behind by right ear lobe in the mirror but can t see. Will it go away if I keep the area dry? Or does it require medical attention?

Hi,
from history it seems that there might be having some local skin infection like dermatis giving this problem.
Clean local part with plane water or antiseptic lotion and apply triple action cream for few days.
Do not itch on the part.
Ok and take care.
