Common Questions and Answers about Eczema in dogs ears

eczema

Avatar f tn It could also be a fungal infection, which is more common in dogs with floppy ears. The ear fold keeps in more moisture than in pointed-eared dogs. It would be a good idea to have your vet take a look so you're not blindly throwing things at the problem that may not work, or may make the situation worse. It's also a good idea to occasionally check for, and remove, any ear wax that is visible. We swab ears with a Q-tip about once a month.
209987 tn?1451935465 Yeast in the ears is extremely difficult to get rid of with home remedies and not all that easy to get rid of with prescription meds because the ear canal is a dark, moist place and ideal to promote the growth of yeast. Please don't bother messing around with vinegar and other home remedies. Take her to the vet where he can prescribe Otomax.
Avatar n tn You need to make an appointment with your vet to see what the cause of the redness is. If it's in both ears, it could be caused by allergies or he could have a yeast infection in his ears. A yeast infection, while not as easy to clear up as a run-of-the-mill ear infection, CAN be cured with medication.
Avatar f tn I'm in high school, and have had eczema my entire life. It was on my face, hands and arms when I was younger, but I grew out of it for a while. It only stayed on my arms, in the bend of my elbows, for my whole life. However, for the past year and a half or so, things have been getting worse. At first, the eczema on my arms got really bad again. As a result, the elasticity there is pretty much obsolete.
Avatar n tn I've had eczema in my ears for 15 yrs. It is very cyclical, starting w/intense uncontrollable itching, then clear fluid leaking from skin, followed by crusting over & flaking of skin in ears that is itchy in & of itself, leading to more scratching & picking at ears. The skin in my ears gets very damaged and ratty during outbreaks. I also have swelling of the ear canal after these itch/scratch episodes that are sometimes quite painful, & Motrin helps that.

666065 tn?1225300076 I have dry, rough, slightly reddened areas in the front of both ears. I also noticed that the sides of my neck feel a little rough and dry, however it is not as noticeable as the areas in front of my ears. My skin is normally dry, so I use a lot of lotion. However, lotion has no effect on these dry areas. Just for added info., I don't have psoriasis. My husband tried to take a picture, but the area is not visible in a photo. I have a slight sore throat and feel more tired than normal.

1609789 tn?1298147175 Well I'm not sure about the ears part of this, but my dog in the past occasionally has developed these tiny fatty lumps, exactly as you describe -not on her ears especially, but on her body in different places. I found that they could be 'popped' quite easily, and antiseptic put on straight away. I don't think they are very much to worry about. But....ears are sensitive things with dogs. You definitely do not want these to develop into anything worse, such as infection.
Avatar m tn m not 100% sure if eczema was exactly ruled out, but very early on my primary care gave me oil to stop the itch that is used to treat eczema in the ears and it didn't help at all. If it is as simple as eczema, I would hope the would have noticed earlier. But I will look into it.
Avatar f tn t get him to stop scratching. Currently, his ears have been bothering him very badly to the point where he has scratched off some of the hair off of the side of his ears and the inside is red, raw, and slightly bleeding. I took him to the vet on Tues and the vet gave us gentizol ointment to apply twice a day for 10 - 14 days. It doesn't seem to be working yet.
Avatar m tn I belive I have eczema in my genital area because I have it also on my chest. I've tried treating it with different types of lotions but lotions seem to make it worse. I tend to scrath the area because of the itchiness which then leads to breaking of the skin at the base of my penis. Never breaking of the skin anywhere else in the genital region, just at the crevase of the lower pubic area at the base of the penis.
Avatar f tn It could also be due to otitis interna (inner ear infection). Sometimes skin disorders like eczema can cause wet ears. Only a consultation with your primary care physician can help diagnose. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Avatar m tn I have for the past year had these black dots (see picture) in my ear. I have eczema of my inner ear canal in both ears (i do not apply any lotions), and I am regularly 'yelled' at by my ENT to stop cleaning my ears daily with cotton buds. These black dots only appear in my right ear, they have not gotten any worse, I have tried scratching at them and they will look white as some do in the image. Anyone have an idea of what they are? or how I can treat/remove them?
Avatar f tn I agreee totally as our dogs are all incredible and I myself have never thought of making a dog look a certain way as to ( my own opinion ) is almost cruel to tape a dogs ears just so it looks a certain way. I think all dogs are beautiful in their own way and all they need is our love and attention and who cares if one ear doesn't stand up a certain way ??? they weren't born with two ears standing up why do we as owners what to do this to them anyways ( again my own opinion ).
Avatar m tn Revolution is primarily a treatment for fleas in cats and dogs but it is approved for ear mites in both.
1668327 tn?1303499112 ok im in the same boat right now. especialy with noises in my ears. i sometimes wonder if its from my cell phone as well or teeth problems. its driving me nuts. i hope we both find answers. ihave been everywhere im giong to see another ent monday and if he doesnt give me answers im beating him.
Avatar f tn For the better part of a year, I have had what is being called eczema( b/c pcp is really unsure) in my ears. It is nearly all the way to eardrum. My ears constantly itch, burn and drain. I have many other symptoms going on that they can't seem to diagnose. I have seen ENT, he just used a vac and told me to use olive oil. No relief there. My question is, could this be related to Lupus? I have many symptoms, but ANA was neg.
1582358 tn?1296583097 This is an Aural Hematoma caused by excessive shaking of the head. Dogs will shake their heads excessively in trying to alleviate the pain or itching in one or both ears. The ears are itchy or painful or both due to an ear infection most often secondary to allergies to foods or allergens in the environment or parasitic ear infestation. Once the capillaries are broken in the pinna or flap of the ear and blood fills in the space it cannot get back out and will have to be drained by a vet.
Avatar n tn DOGS CANNOT TAKE DECONGESTANTS!!!! They cannot metabolize them. If your dogs ears are that bad they are in need of antibiotic and antifungals. You can ask your vet to prescribe an antibiotic like cephalexin and an antifungal like fluconazole both which can be called into a walmart in your area and they are on the $4 generic list so it keeps cost down. As for itching they can have antihistamines WITHOUT DECONGESTANTS in them.
Avatar n tn Does eczema and psoriasis appear on the genitals. In my case, the penis?
612551 tn?1450022175 My Westie has more than his share of skin problems, including Yeast infection which has been treated both with prescription and over-the-counter dog medicated shampoo. All this helps, but he continues to have some itch problem with his ears, which he can not lick, and the ear 'look" okay. He also continues to have some problem on his toes which I think is aggravated by his licking. In fact he can get the toes to show a "sun burn" red appearance.
Avatar m tn t go to vet tonight, you might try cleaning ears with witch hazel on a cotton ball. Be gentle but firm. Do not scratch at ears but try to wipe them out gently and extract any debris.
Avatar f tn Hi, A couple of months ago I had a red rash/dry spot show up on my bridge of my nose and my left part of my face under my eye. Since that time I have confirmed Eczema in my ears and on my scalp. Although the ears and scalp are annoying the spots on my face are really bothering me. I work in a professional environment and even with makeup they do not look very attractive. Prior to this rash/spots on my face showing up, I was vacationing in the Caribbean and they have not gone away.
Avatar m tn it's only in my ears very dry skin and sometimes itchy i've been using moisturizers and other creams nothing seems to help
Avatar n tn My mother took me to the pharmacist, and he gave me some anti-hestimines(?). The redness in my ears went, but the rash on my face is still there. Although, it has subsided somewhat. It has a rough texture, but is neither sore nor itchy. The only way it's bothering me is being there, and being able to see it. However, the redness has disappeared to an extent. We ran through a list of things that is could have been. Does it sound like an allergic reaction?
