Swimmers ear: You most likely have an early case of swimmers ear or otitis externa, an infection of the ear canal skin. It can get worse if not treated. You can try using white vinegar and rubbing alcohol drops twice a day. Avoid water. If it gets worse you need to see a doctor. They may prescribe antibiotic drops. Vinegar and alcohol can also be used as a preventative after swimming.
