Lo stuck qtip in ear and cut ear canal. dr. said ear drum is fine.there is some scraped,loose skin near cut.will this heal on its own?drops prescribed

Yes: The skin will heal on its own. The drops are likely an antibiotic to prevent infection. Do not attempt to pull the skin off, this may enlarge the wound and you may unintentionally cause further injury.
