H60A disorder characterized by inflammation, swelling and redness to the outer ear and ear canal. An acute or chronic inflammatory process involving the skin of the outer ear and the ear canal.
Otitis externa is a condition that causes inflammation (redness and swelling) of the external ear canal, which is the tube between the outer ear and eardrum. Otitis externa is often referred to as "swimmer's ear" because repeated exposure to water can make the ear canal more vulnerable to inflammation.Jul 6, 2021
