    infection of the outer ear canal, often called Swimmer's Ear

    Otitis Externa, commonly known as Swimmer's Ear, is an infection of the outer ear canal, which runs from the eardrum to the outside of the head. It is often caused by water remaining in the ear after swimming, creating a moist environment that facilitates bacterial or fungal growth. Symptoms include ear pain, itching, redness, and sometimes discharge. Treatment typically involves ear drops containing antibiotics or antifungal medications, and keeping the ear dry.
