Overview
Symptoms for all forms of otitis externa are primarily pain, itching, and swelling of the ear canal. Symptoms of chronic, recurrent otitis externa include lack of earwax and buildup of dead skin causing narrowing of the ear canal. Symptoms of malignant necrotizing otitis externa include severe ear pain, facial paralysis, difficulty opening mouth, and difficulty swallowing. History of allergies, aquatic-based occupations, or exposure to sources of immunocompromise, including chemotherapy and diabetes mellitus should be considered in otitis externa patients.
History
- History of allergies should be considered for dermatitis caused otitis externa.[1]
- History of an occupation involving swimming, scuba-diving, or surfing should be considered.
- Sources of immunocompromise in a patient history should be considered for malignant otitis externa:
