Have you called your Doctor yet? This should be seen as you may need prescribed eardrops.

Is your ear still bleeding /leaking discharge? Do you live alone, or is there someone who can look at it for you to check?

I would definitely see the doctor.

Have you taken paracetamol for the pain?

When it last happened? You've done this before?

Definitely see your doctor.

Are you under ENT Consultant?

Is it still leaking?

I haven't heard of psoriasis causing spots that can be popped. Have you been referred to a skin Specialist in Dermatology or ENT?

Does anyone else in the family have psoriasis?

Ask about blood tests including some Antibodies Tests.

Actuallly, I found something about it on the internet today. Try Googling 'psoriasis spots in ear'.

Do you know that there is a forum/community on here called "Beyond Psoriasis". Might help to read through some posts and ask questions on there. You might find others that have similar experiences.

Do you drink plenty of water?

Had a doctors appointment over the phone at local practice and they have prescribed me the same medical ear spray from last time and that should do the job they said next time you have a spot in the ear pls leave it 😅
