Chronic Otitis Externa
Chronic external otitis is a prolonged or recurrent inflammation of the external ear canal, the part of the ear that runs from the outer ear to the eardrum.
Common symptoms: itching, discomfort or mild pain in the ear, redness, flaking and sometimes a feeling of a plugged ear.
Contributing factors: frequent moisture, irritation of the skin of the canal, or the use of objects to clean the ear.
Which specialist treats it? The otolaryngologist is the one who examines the ear canal thoroughly, with support from the family physician or the general practitioner for an initial evaluation. If ear discomfort keeps coming back, it is worth having it checked by a professional to understand what is keeping it going.
