The last few days my right ear has been painful, but this morning it has swollen up, bright red and feels a bit crusty. It's only the outer area, my hearing is fine, and there isn't a noticeable smell. I'm 21 weeks pregnant, though probably not relevant.
It feels like I may have scratched just inside from the lobe and that has got infected.
Should I try for a doctors appointment, or would a pharmacist be able to help? Not sure if maybe antiseptic cream would do the job.
