No: Leprosy is VERY difficult to transmit. Your ear is at any rate well protected with skin. You could however irritate your canal/drum with bleach! Don't use it in ears. Vinegar and alcohol mix will treat most any external ear infection. But if you see and feel nothing, do nothing!

Do not worry: Leprosy is the least infectious of the infectious diseases. It usually requires prolonged contact with a source of infection to catch leprosy. Have a healthy diet, exercise, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Get HPV vaccine Nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
