5. Signs of Chronic Swimmer's Ear

Competitive swimmers or those who often swim recreationally may contract chronic swimmer's ear. The symptoms of this are similar to occasional swimmer's ear, including the progression from mild to severe. Additional signs of chronic swimmer's ear include dry, flaking skin from the ear canal and around the exterior of the ear, as well as reddening of the earlobes. Swimmer's ear is considered chronic if these symptoms repeatedly occur as multiple sequential episodes rather than one lengthy illness. It can also be chronic if the symptoms persist for more than three months.
