A member asked:

Sores in tips of both ear canals that won't heal. went to ent and had no idea what it might be. any dermatologist have any ideas what might be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ear canal: Not a dermatologist, but common entities include seborrheic dermatitis and psoriasis. ENT should be very familiar with those. A biopsy is in order if lesions defy description and do not behave well.
