Default Behind the ear Discharge?


Pityrosporum Ovale, a yeast organism, is associated with seborrheic
dermatitis. Corticosteroids can sometimes worsen this condition, and
damage the skin.
It never really goes away. You can keep it under control, somewhat, but it
tends to flare up again and again, throughout ones lifetime.


either way, I'd start by just being vigilent in washing, using something non
drying, like dove, rather than plain soap, if that doesn't help then add a
smidgen of something softening after washing, like vaseline, or olive oil,
then next wash be a little more vigorous to get rid of some of the flakes,
then repeat. Thorough washing mostly keeps it away, though it can be a
problem in glasses wearers because there is constantly something there and
even the slightest bit of sweat can block things up and keep it happening.
