Chronic Otitis Externa Aka Swimmers Ear
Posted: 10-05-04 20:27pm

I have had problems for many years with my ears. They itch on the inside and have swollen completely shut. This was extremely painful. I am not a swimmer and I hardly ever get water in my ears in the shower. They seem to seep occassionally and then itch some more. I seem to notice it more at night time. I feel that it's more an allergy than anything. Has anyone else out there experienced this problem? If so, did you find the cause?

Hi gayle,
sounds painful. I also have the ear itch and ooze. Never swells shut though. I was tested allergic to peanuts and seafood. These are the most common allergens. Try cutting them out. Also, what is your diet like?
