Abstract

Etiology of otitis externa is most often bacterial, but can also be viral, fungal or mixed. Epidermal lesions of the external ear canal caused by mechanical cleansing, foreign bodies as well as skin maceration due to moist environment are usually the primary causes of otitis externa. Underlying cause of inflmmatory process in the external ear may also be conditions like psoriasis, acne, seborrheic dermatitis, allergies, diabetes, immune defiiency. Effective treatment is only possible with proper diagnosis. Due to frequent recurrence of otitis externa all the patients should undergo control examination, even if the symptoms have dissolved.
