Eczema (?) in outer ear

I have a problem with cracked and inflamed skin at the corners of my mouth. I have used many products and nothing cures it permanently. One day I think it is better and then the next day it's worse. I don't call it eczema but I have not seen a doctor yet. This has been going on for months. Any ideas?

I’ve had the same thing. It comes and goes. I was told it was fungal and the doctor recommended applying a creme for athlete’s foot. It has cleared up the flare ups for me, though I don’t have a severe case. I hope it helps you.

I had the same problem. One dermatologist recommended I use clotrimazole cream 1%, but it did not work. Another dermatologist recommended using desitin at night, hydrocortisone during the day (apply a few times) and cleaning with hibiclens (diluted with water) once a day. This did work. Good luck.
