About swimmer’s ear
Swimmer’s ear (otitis externa) is an infection or inflammation of the outer ear canal, often after water has stayed in the ear.
Common triggers
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.
How to lower your risk of swimmer’s ear
Dry your ears gently after swimming, avoid cotton buds, use earplugs or a swim cap and avoid swimming in poorly maintained water.
