An abscess on the ear can be treated with topical mupirocin ointment, oral antibiotics, and an incision and drainage in the hospital if the abscess has significant fluctuation.
The main consideration for a pustule on the ear is a boil, which is an acute suppurative inflammation localized to the hair follicle caused by infection with pathogenic bacteria such as Aureobasidium. In the early stage, mupirocin ointment can be used, and oral cefuroxime and other drugs can be taken at the same time, the above drugs need to be applied according to the doctor’s instructions, and patients with a history of allergy should be prohibited. If an abscess forms or breaks down in the late stage, it is necessary to go to the hospital for incision and drainage.
It is important to note that pseudocysts of the auricle can be characterized by localized redness, swelling, pain and fluctuating sensation in the auricle when secondary infection occurs. Therefore, when there is pus in the ear or other discomfort, you should go to the ENT department of the hospital in a timely manner to get a clear diagnosis and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment, and do not squeeze yourself, abuse of drugs and so on.
