How does ear eczema affect my body?

Ear eczema affects your ears, including:

  • Your outer ears (pinna), including your ear lobes.
  • Your inner ears, including your ear canals.
  • Behind your ears.
  • The skin between your ears and your face.

Your skin may itch, change color, develop bumps, dry out or thicken.

In severe cases of ear eczema, your skin may crack or leak (weep) a thick, yellow or white fluid (pus). You may also experience a ringing noise (tinnitus) or hearing loss if you have a severe case of ear eczema in your ear canals.
