My daughter is 7; she woke up one morning with her ear all red, swollen, and crusted. I cleaned it and applied antibiotic ointment; it was better for a couple of days, and the infection comes back. This has been about 6 weeks now. At first I thought it was a bite then I thought maybe she left conditioner in her ear. It seems to get worse after being in the sun. This is the outer portion of the ear. Any suggestions? Should I call a dermatologist or her pediatrician? Lisalaz
