Discharge behind ear: Discharge behind the ear is not very common. A common cause is severe seborrheic dermatitis rash. Otherwise, most earache associated with discharge is due to an ear infection--either middle ear (otitis media) or external ear (swimmer's ear). The oozing and crusting of skin behind the ear suggests intense inflammation and/or infection. Treatment: cortisone cream and/or antibiotics.
