Swimmers ear, or something else?

Question

Well when I went on vacation to Lake Chelan,WA. I got swimmers ear a lot. When I came back, about a week later, I did not have swimmers ear. But I found this dried blood on the same ear. Could the dried blood have had any thing to do with my swimmers ear?

Answer 1

It could have something to do with that, but blood is not usually a symptom of swimmer's ear. You might want to get it looked at to make sure you didn't do damage to something else in your ears.  

Answer 2

Very likely.  You may want to buy these ear plugs for people with swimmers ear, so that way you don't have problems when swimming.  My sister has swimmers ears.
