Outer ear infections are usually caused by a bacterial infection which can be a result of water getting into the ear. They can also be caused by fungal infections and allergies. Sometimes inflammation and flaking skin caused by skin problems such as eczema or psoriasis can make you more prone to outer ear infections.
