Swimmer's ear is an infection in the outer ear canal. The outer ear canal runs from the eardrum to the outside the head. Swimmer's ear is often brought on by water that stays in the ear. The moisture helps bacteria grow.
Putting fingers, cotton swabs or other objects in the ears can damage the thin layer of skin lining the ear canal. This also can lead to swimmer's ear.
Swimmer's ear also is called otitis externa. Ear drops usually can treat swimmer's ear. Treating swimmer’s ear quickly can help prevent complications and more-serious infections.
