<Message from the Editor>
Why does otitis externa occur? There is a cause, of course. There are some differences in the way doctors think about the cause. This is because there is something that cannot be left out of the regional characteristics and past experiences. Also, since there are so many treatment tools and drugs, the treatment method will differ depending on each person's preference and ease of use. Therefore, this time, we asked doctors who are skilled in ear treatment to explain the diagnosis and treatment method that can be imagined from a single photo of the inside of the ear canal. Despite the rather unreasonable request, each doctor wrote in detail, and I was impressed that they could consider such a small hole so carefully. Some of them will have the same thoughts as the readers' doctors, and some will have different thoughts. I hope that by reading this book, you will be able to increase your options for diagnosis and treatment. What would you think and how would you treat it after looking at just one photo? Please let your imagination run wild.
