[|Human|] I am a 45 year old male, & I am experiencing a light oozing, yet sometimes heavy oozing, behind my left side ear on the crease from the ear itself to the scalp now since around Thanksgiving time. It starts from the top, going down the back side of the ear itself, around 1 cm. I ve put Neosporin on it, on a few occasions in the past couple weeks. It seems to get better, but temporarily. It doesn t itch or smell, but burns like it s raw to the touch. I try not to touch it, but it continually oozes. I just recently noticed, that I now have a red dime size scab near my temple on the same side. I shower daily, as I am a cook at a restaurant. I have no other health issues or allergies known. Other than an occasional out break of dry skin on my nose or hands in cold weather. In the last couple of days here, my wife has mentioned red spots under the skin all over the side of my face on the same side also, some dry skin spots on the outside (eczema?). Any thoughts would be appreciated! Sincerely, David L. Christmas 1/12/2014
[|AI|]  Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum.  It appears to be the allergic reaction to something you are using recently, may be food, clothes, wool, soap, or cosmetics etc. Or else it may be due to the fungal infection, wit superinfecton of bacteria.  I advise you to consult a dermatologist for diagnosis and treatment.  I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms fluconazole150 stat, penicillin, and grisofulvin and mild steroid cream for local application.  Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
