I have a persistent skin infection in my right ear. What medication or topical treatment should I use to treat it?

Asked by Female, 35 · 8 hours ago

For a persistent ear skin infection, the right treatment depends on whether it is bacterial, fungal, or an inflammatory skin condition. Because it is persistent, it is important to have a healthcare provider examine your ear to ensure your eardrum is intact before using any drops. Depending on their findings, they may prescribe generic antibiotic drops (such as ciprofloxacin), antifungal drops (such as clotrimazole), or a mild topical steroid (such as hydrocortisone) to soothe itching and swelling. In the meantime, keep your ear completely dry and avoid inserting cotton swabs. Please consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis and the correct prescription.
