Swimmer’s ear explained
Swimmer’s ear (otitis externa) is an infection or inflammation of the outer ear canal, commonly after water has stayed in the ear.
What can cause swimmer’s ear
Water left in the ear after swimming or showering softens the skin of the canal and lets bacteria or fungi grow. Pools, the sea and cotton buds all raise the risk.
