Question 1

my ears usually become very oily within a few hours. why is tat so? sometimes i'll get pimples in my ear - is d oilness d cause of tat? thanks!

Accepted Answer

Doctor can evaluate: Oily skin occurs because of oil-producing glands in the skin. A primary care doctor can look to see if the oiliness is normal or maybe related to hormonal imbalances. Oily-skin areas do tend to get pimples more often than less oily skin areas. A dermatologist can also help evaluate and treat, if there is no underlying medical problem causing the oiliness.

Question 2

i have a pimple in my ear how can i get the  to go away  so of that i can sleep?

Accepted Answer

Hot soaks: If the pimple is confined to the outer ear canal and you can see or feel it, I would recommend hot soaks.  If the pimple hurts, it is likely a small abscess that will respond to this type of conservative treatment.  If after 3 to 4 days of hot soaks, there is no improvement or the pain gets worse or the pimple gets bigger, then see an 
ENT doctor for I and D of small abscess.

Accepted Answer

Oil glands: You have oil glands in your ears so you can get pimples here also.

Question 7

before i have pimple in my ear now i feel air bubble in my ear its keep go blow in my ear what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Oral decongestant: may help if the air bubble is in the middle ear and changes with swallowing or blowing your nose.  If the bubble or fluid is in the ear canal, then there may be swelling or wax that is blocking the normal ear canal.  Ear flush may help.  Warm compresses may help heal a pimple near the ear canal.

Question 8

Clean: Clean it a few times daily.  If it does not clear in a few days, see a doctor.

Question 9

how to get ride of water in my ear? but also i have a pimple inside the canal!

Accepted Answer

Middle ear fluid: The fluid occurs from plugged eustachian tubes and trapped fluid and air bubbles in your middle ear space. This stuff doesn't clear up overnight. It can take weeks (sometimes 6-8) for this fluid/air mixture to clear after it accumulates in the middle ear. Chew gum, pop your ears, plenty of humidity, sometimes decongestants can help. If bad pain see doc to make sure not infected.

Question 10

Painful=infection: it may have started a an obstructed pore/follicle now infected...skin discoloration and painful lesion may be indicative of MRSA cellulitis/abscess formation...get seen by doctor the may decide to open it drain it and culture the discharge to identify the bacteria...good luck
