ENT Symptoms

A red ear is caused by increased blood flow due to irritation, infection, injury, or temperature changes, and while usually harmless, persistent redness or severe symptoms may signal underlying issues needing medical attention.

An ear lesion with a mucoid appearance is an inflamed or irritated spot in or on the ear that produces a clear, sticky discharge, often caused by infections, allergies, skin conditions, or irritation.

Changes in your ear’s appearance—such as redness, swelling, bumps, or deformities—can result from infections, allergies, injuries, or skin conditions and may require medical evaluation if symptoms persist or worsen.

Ear infections, especially common in children, occur when fluid buildup causes middle ear inflammation, leading to pain, hearing issues, and discomfort that can impact daily activities and may require medical attention.

Blue or black ear cartilage discoloration often results from bruising, trauma, poor circulation, or frostbite and may require medical evaluation if symptoms persist, worsen, or are accompanied by pain or swelling.
