Abstract:
Dermatological diseases of the ear are frequent and diverse. Specific skin diseases including tumours of the skin, specific diseases of the ear with manifestation on the skin, metabolic diseases and hereditary diseases belong to this field. Pruritus of the acoustic meatus is particularly challenging in daily clinical practice and requires accurate diagnosis. Depending on the clinical findings, laboratory examinations, bacteriological and mycological smear, histology and allergological tests are needed. Therapy comprises treatment of the underlying disease and symptomatic anti-pruritic treatment.
