Otomycosis is a fungal infection of the external ear canal characterised by accumulation of fungal debris. Effective management follows a defined sequence — beginning with mechanical clearance and proceeding to targeted topical antifungal therapy — to eliminate both the active infection and residual spores.
Ear toilet — suction clearance of the fungal mass and debris — is the essential first step. This is followed by topical antifungal eardrops, with a specific antifungal agent recommended as the agent of choice. Adjunctive topical preparations addressing pain, pruritus, oedema, and secondary bacterial involvement may also have a role in the early phase. The full agent selection, combination, and duration are specified in the structured protocol.
