My name is Barba Carroll,  I am a private duty caregiver.  I go to peoples homes and do the daily car, take them to appointments, grocery store, Church etc...... I am concerned about my husband who has a place on his right ear that is swollen purple in placesand has been growing for 3-4 months.  He is currently on cipro, that was given at a clinic to treat a possible infection, but they were clear in saying he needed to see a skin dr.  my husband has had several skin cancers removed, but this looks very different than any thing he has had,  He is a veteran, and we keep trying to get him a appointment there, but have had no luck.  He has had yellow drainage come out a few times.  Dr. Drew any ideas would be a big help, I could even take a picture with my cell phone if I knew how I could get it to you.  Any help or advice would be much appreciated... Thanks Barbara
