Ear eczema

Ear eczema
SpecialtyDermatology

Auricular eczema is an eczema of the ear that may involve the helix, postauricular fold, and external auditory canal, with the most frequently affected site being the external canal, where it is often a manifestation of seborrheic dermatitis or allergic contact dermatitis.[1] This is an neuroallergic inflammation of skin with evident itch.

Signs and symptoms

Small blisters appear on the skin of the external auditory canal and auricle. Then they burst and at the site multiple small erosions with abundant oozing lesions appear. Dry cracking skin on the outer ear may also appear causing itchiness. There is no known cause for ear eczema.

Management

The management of ear eczema will depend on the type of eczema diagnosed upon presentation.

Generally, ear toileting and care are advised to help relieve symptoms. Washing the ears with an emollient and drying them is one way to achieve this.[2] Patients are advised against putting anything in the ears or scratching them.[2] Ear candles are not recommended as there is no research proof to support their efficacy.

Medical management will include topical steroids, antifungals, antibiotics, and calcineurin inhibitors such as cyclosporine and tacrolimus.[2][3] Tacrolimus has been shown to be an effective and well-tolerated option in treating chronic dermatitis of the ear.[4]

Other management strategies include limiting water exposure and using earplugs while swimming. Using objects such as matchsticks to scratch the outer ear canal should also be avoided.[2]

Signed zero

Differentiating positive and negative zero Signed zero is zero with an associated sign. In ordinary arithmetic, the number 0 does not have a sign, so that −0, +0 and 0 are equivalent. However, in computing, some number representations allow for the existence of two zeros, often denoted by −0 (negative zero) and +0 (positive zero), regarded as equal by the numerical comparison operations but with possible different behaviors in particular operations. This occurs in the sign-magnitude and o...
