I have clear liquid draining from my ears

I am seeing an ENT on the 4th. I have clear liquid running out of my ears. I have to keep some cotton or tissue in my ears because it runs down my neck. They get crusty at night as others have mentioned. I have sores on the ear itself. My ears itch something horrible. I have been to my dr many times. She gave me antibiotics, creams and steroids. Nothing has helped. She sent me to a dermatologist. The dermatologist is sending me to the ENT. I am going on two months of this. It's driving me crazy. I am adding a picture. Did anyone else have sores? The sores go up even higher now. This was taken when this started. Also the fluid was not as bad then as now.

Hi,
I know exactly what you are going thru!! I've heard about the nighttime drainage from a couple posts. I thought I was imagining it. I have some during the day, but mostly it's at night. I wonder why that is for all of us. My sores got very worse than yours because I would scratch my ears all night as they irritated me. Be careful with that as it evidently can spread the infection as I found out. My nails caused cuts in my outer/inner ear canal and the fluid then burned like acid or something. It really hurt!!! I now find out that I have 2 antibiotic resistant bacterial infections and have to start a 3rd round of different medicine. And I have to see an infectious disease dr. I feel like a leper or something,jeez! I have to admit that I'm addicted to using qtips and they say thats bad, but they aren't the ones with the itchy painful ears. I at first asked for some cream for the itchy sores but that they gave me a pain cream, this time they gave me a cream that healed the sores but the infection went deeper. I waited too long.

Another question for you. How did you get the picture of your inner ear? I tried just so I could see what it looked like and as I don't have good hand/eye coordination it never worked. I"m hope you have someone with you to help,I guess.
