About the begining of July 2013, I got a pimple in my ear(which is normal, I get them every so often, but nothing like this EVER happened)& I popped it, but about 3-4days later there was this "crust" on 1 part of my ear. I pulled it off & there was really no pain. It felt like a sensation that you get when cutting thru construction paper. I couldnt see my primary MD, for 2wks, bcuz he was on vacation, so by the time I got into see him, the condition had worsened 100x. I have a pocket in my ear that I can put my finger all the way down into my ear lobe & back the opposite way. It is just filled with this dried "crust". I had to find a dermatologist to do a biopsy & an ENT. There is no infection, but the "crust" has now turned into "puss" that comes out w/out me touching it(bcuz it is now EXCRUIATING pain). I put my own mixture together(that worked EXCELLENTLY for my psoriasis) of neosporin, lanacane, Eucerion Aquaphor healing ointment, & tea tree oil on it & then cover it with with some 2x2 squares. I do this @ least 2x/day. Nobody knows what caused this or really even what it is. It is traveling inside my ear & the pain it not so much on the ear unless its touched, I have a feeling of severe pressure/pain on my eardrum area & it travels thru the right side of my head causing constant headache, behind my right eye, around the eye socket, then into my jaw & my right side of my throat, which causes a constant sore throat. I saw more than a dozen ENT specialists who have all given different opinions. 2 ENTs @ Froedert Medical College made me feel VERY "safe" by stating they will do a replacement of my cartilage once it heals. These 2 ENTs also brought up that they found something in my throat, that should be there & could be causing part of the problem, but not completely sure. When they had mentioned this, I told them that for about the last 2yrs or so I get this itching feeling like there is a hair or something (deep in the same spot where I have the pressure/pain in the ear drum area) & the only way to scratch it is by(sorry this is gross) kind of a coughing/gargle thing I have to do. About 2mos before this started, this itching feeling was happening about every day & all of a sudden these little, soft, black things that come up after I cough or whatever. After about 3wks of this black stuff coming up, I took & saved several pieces & took them to my primary & asked him to have them tested. They were just thrown out. I need for someone to PLEASE reach me w/any recomendations, doesnt matter where, even if I have to go to another country, I am scared & dont want to lose my ear. I also have a pimple(again these were normal to me) on my left ear lobe that I am scared it is the same thing. It has not changed since the right ear started. Thank you & God bless, Scorpio2177
