The ear is divided into three compartments: the outer, middle, and inner ear. These compartments house the senses of hearing and balance. If any part of the ear becomes inflamed, it’s called otitis. Otitis externa is a common problem in dermatology consultations. It’s important to approach otitis correctly to avoid failure and preserve the ear’s viability and the patient’s quality of life.
