***SWIMMERS EAR*** ....Bacteria and sometimes fungi may cause the infection. It can result from an injury, for example using a Q-tip to clean your ear canal. It can also be caused by dirty water in your ears (for example, from a lake or an ocean). Frequent showering or swimming can increase the risk of getting an infection. Otitis externa often occurs in the summer from swimming in polluted water. The chemicals in hair spray or hair dye may irritate the ear canal as well and increase the risk of infection. Some people get otitis repeatedly, especially if they clean their ears too vigorously. People who have skin allergies also seem particularly prone to otitis externa.
