Why do i have recurring sores in my ear?

9 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Skin issues : Sometimes the ear canal skin can form infected cysts which can be very irritating. Sometimes the skin itself can become inflamed or irritated from contact with shampoos and soaps. If you clean your ears with q-tips then you are actually removing healthy wax which protects the skin and this also can lead to recurrent sores and infections. You should see an ENT doctor and have him or her take a look in your ears.
