Chronic Swimmer's Ear
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Chronic swimmer's ear is a persistent or recurrent inflammation of the external ear canal, the part of the ear that runs from the entrance to the eardrum, frequently related to sustained moisture in that area.
Common symptoms: It usually presents with itching, discomfort or pain in the ear, a feeling of a plugged ear and, at times, discharge.
Common causes: Frequent exposure to water, excessive cleaning of the canal or repeated irritation favor its appearance over time.
Which specialist treats it? The otolaryngologist is the one who studies ear conditions and provides guidance on how to care for the ear canal. If ear discomfort keeps coming back again and again, a professional evaluation is advisable to understand what is favoring it.
