Infection on ear

2016-05-27 19:21:23
I think I have some infection on my ear outer skin, as it is reddish over there and it gives very itchy feeling whenever I touched it. I feel to do itching on that point and if I did I becomes like scalps are coming out. It's really very bad to have this thing and it looks very odd.

Hi. Greetings. Do you have it only on one ear ? Do you wear any kind of a stud or earring ? This could be a allergic dermatitis or or seborrhoiec dermatitis or psoriasis involving the ear but it's best diagnosed if you see a qualified dermatologist near you. Or send pictures on follow up messaging. Warm regards.
