### Patient: Doctor, I've been having a plugged feeling in my ear and recently noticed a skin growth and mass on my ear. Additionally, I have experienced some bleeding from my ear and think I had an allergic reaction. What could be the cause of this?
### Doctor: Based on your symptoms, it sounds like you may have cholesteatoma, a growth of skin cells in the middle ear that can lead to hearing loss, dizziness, and facial muscle weakness. It can also cause ear infections and drainage from the ear. We will need to perform further tests to confirm the diagnosis and determine the appropriate treatment.
