Question: ears...

I recieved a physical a few weeks ago and the nurse said she noticed some white scar tissue in one of my ears.
Is this normal to have if I've had ear infections in the past?

 Hello,
It will be more helpful if you can explain more, what do you mean by a white scar. And why did the nurse examine your ear or how did she find out it ? What was your complain or how you have been diagnosed with ear infection?
It is possible to have a scar following any form of injury, drained abscess etc.
It is also possible to have an area of dry skin where infection was localized before healing.
Keep us updated.
Best regards.
