Otitis externa, an inflammation of the external auditory canal is the most frequent cause of ENT consultation all over the world. It can be caused by viral, bacterial or fungal infections. In most of the cases it is provoked by anatomical causes and, even more frequently inadvertently, by the patient himself.
