Need to see ENT: Your hidradenitis is not likely related to your ear infection. Your infection is a separate issue. You need to see your regular doctor for treatment or preferably an ENT doctor. It sounds like you might have an outer ear infection, but there can be other types of problems affecting the outer ear. Need to get checked and treated. For the hidradenitis, seek treatment with a general surgeon. There are some new treatments available, but this is not my area of expertise.

Need to see an ENT: You need to have your ear closely examined by an ENT doctor to determine what's actually going on with your ear canal skin. As a general rule hopefully you are not using q-tips or any other measures to clean your ear as these only irritate your canal skin causing problems.
