I was diagnosed with otitis externa after visiting my doctor with severe ear pain for 3 days. On that third day, I also developed a bumpy, painful rash on my scalp above that same ear. I thought it was just maybe a blemish and did not say anything to the doc. On the fifth day the same painful rash appeared on my forehead and then another spot on my scalp just above. I have completed a 7 day course of ear drops and still having minor waves of pain in my ear, it s actually the 8th day since I saw the doc. The rashy spots are better but still healing. Is it possible there is relationship between the rashes and the ear infection? Should I see my physician again? Incidentally I have been experiencing rashy spots on my legs also that began in July. They have also been painful and itchy, bumps, also, but not completely sure they are the same as on my head. They come, heal, but then show up n another spot . Uggh ! Frustrating, but also I am worried this is all related in some serious condition.
