What do i do to treat peeling oozing area behind ear?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dermatologist: This crease behind your ear is a classical site for seborrheic keratitis. This a skin condition which can be treated with careful cleansing of the skin followed by a small amount of topical cortisone. If these measures do not help, i would advise seeing a dermatologist.
