Pimples appear in the most unexpected places at the most unexpected times. What people don’t do to get rid of these annoying “upstarts”. I would like to get rid of them once and for all, but, unfortunately, this is impossible. Even a pimple may appear in the ear, which is quite dangerous for the human body.
The appearance of pathological rashes and ulcers in the ear is considered a serious problem, since localization does not allow them to be detected immediately after their appearance. Especially when the pimple does not cause discomfort or pain.
Etiology of acne in the ear
A pimple can appear in the area of the auricle, behind the ear, or in the ear canal. The main reasons for its occurrence:
- hormonal changes in the body;
- hypothermia;
- respiratory viral infection;
- poor nutrition;
- frequent use of earphones;
- decreased immunity;
- stressful situations;
- allergic reactions.
Hormonal changes in the body cause acne to appear during puberty or pregnancy. Under the influence of high levels of hormones, the sebaceous glands work more actively and produce secretions in larger quantities than usual. This causes blockage of the gland duct and an inflammatory reaction.
Hypothermia and wind can cause ulcers to appear. Steamed skin can be cooled, which causes the development of local inflammation. Similarly, those who like to ride a moped or motorcycle can suffer from acne.
Fatty foods, smoked foods, marinades, and a large number of spices affect the condition of the gastrointestinal tract, and that, in turn, affects the skin. A disturbance in the gastrointestinal tract can cause the appearance of pathological rashes on the skin, acne, including in the ear.
Frequent use of headphones and radio microphones causes the development of inflammatory processes in the auricle. This occurs due to the large number of pathological microorganisms inhabiting the headset. Especially if these headphones are used by several people in turn.
A low level of local and general immunity reduces the body's defenses, thereby allowing the bacterial flora to cause pathological processes.

The long-awaited addition to the family will soon occur. The man soon learns that the woman he loves is expecting a child from him.

Symptoms
The clinical picture may vary depending on the triggering factor. If the cause is an allergic reaction to a food product or shampoo, a rash with watery blisters appears. Most often it occurs behind the ear and is accompanied by itching and discomfort.
When sebum comes to the surface from the pores and dirt accumulates, acne appears. If an infection occurs, a pimple or boil may occur.
First, you can identify a small lump under the skin. If the pimple is located in a place where it can be visualized, then hyperemia is visible at the site of its formation. If the abscess is located in the ear canal, then its appearance is indicated by pain, which increases as the size of the pimple increases.
Sometimes the pain syndrome is characterized by the addition of a throbbing pain that radiates to the temple, jaw, neck, and teeth. These symptoms indicate the occurrence of a boil, which is a more serious problem.
What does a pimple on the cheek mean?
If the rash is localized on the right, this promises misfortune, since the person, due to his own mistake and the wrong step taken, will find himself in an awkward situation. If the rash is localized on the left, the sign promises a fateful meeting that will bring changes in all areas, both in business and love.
There are many superstitions associated with acne on the cheeks. In order to clarify them, it is necessary to take into account which particular cheek the problem arose on.
If it’s on both, then this sign is not very good. Soon, not the best changes in life and quarrels with loved ones are possible.
If a pimple appears on the right cheek, then a very useful acquaintance can soon be expected. Thanks to a new person in your environment, you will be able to improve your financial situation and achieve success.
In those cases where the defect appears on the left cheek, an acquaintance is also expected soon, but in a romantic way. It can end not only in a romance, but also in a wedding.

Any rash in the temple area indicates the presence of health problems. A popular sign says that you will soon have to be disappointed in the person closest to you. Moreover, it could be a life partner, a relative or a best friend.
How is poor hygiene related to acne?
Poor hygiene is considered one of the main factors in the occurrence of ulcers in the ears. This doesn't mean people don't take care of themselves, they just don't do it correctly. Basic rules to follow for ear hygiene:
- Limit access of fingers to the ear, since hands are not sterile and are a source of infection.
- If your ear itches, use a cotton swab.
- Do not use hairpins, pins, matches, toothpicks and other devices for cleaning, as this can not only injure you, but also cause infection.
- Wipe or treat your headset and phone with disinfectants to reduce the possibility of bacterial infection.
Is it possible to squeeze out a pimple yourself?
The appearance of the first symptoms of this condition causes discomfort. And people begin to look for an opportunity to get rid of it by any means.
Squeezing a pimple yourself is strictly not recommended. Firstly, its localization does not allow a person to do this on their own, and secondly, a dense network of lymphatic and blood vessels can spread the infection to other parts of the body, including the brain.
Important! Purulent formations should only be removed by a specialist in a hospital under aseptic conditions.
You can try to squeeze out the contents of the pimple only if you are absolutely sure that it is already ripe. Even then, force will be necessary, which may cause pain. This can be done by a stranger, since the localization of pimples in the ear limits the ability to see them. Before the procedure, be sure to wash your hands with soap and, if possible, treat them with an antiseptic. After removing the contents of the pimple, treat the area with alcohol-containing preparations.
Pain
A painful lump on the earlobe predicts a change in life for the worse. You shouldn't try to solve all your problems at the same time. A person should start with the main thing, and then deal with numerous minor troubles. If he passes the upcoming tests with honor, then he will no longer be afraid of anything. Unfortunately, you can’t count on anyone’s help; you’ll have to deal with difficulties alone.
Has a painful tubercle “decorated” the area in front of the ear? The sign promises pleasure from communicating with interesting personalities. Conversation will help a person obtain information that is of great value to him. There is a possibility that the conversation will lift the veil of some old secret for him. Under no circumstances should a pimple be squeezed. Otherwise, the information received will only bring misfortune.
Treatment of acne in the ears
The appearance of pain indicates the need for therapy. It is necessary not only to choose a treatment method, but also to find out the cause of the pimple. Elimination of the etiological factor gives half the positive result.
If the pain is not severe, then simply wipe the skin with an alcohol preparation and try not to touch the pimple again to avoid infection. In other cases, it is advisable to consult an otolaryngologist or surgeon for advice. The following treatment methods are used:
- treating the problem area with alcohol solutions;
- ear drops with an antibacterial effect (chloramphenicol);
- salicylic alcohol - it must be dripped into the ear to reduce the size of the pimple, eliminate swelling and inflammation;
- when a boil forms, you can use Vishnevsky ointment, which allows it to ripen faster and then accelerates the healing process;
- ear boils are a reason to use antibiotics (erythromycin, tetracycline);
- severe pain requires the use of painkillers, and an increase in body temperature requires antipyretics.
Know! If the general condition or local manifestations worsen, you should immediately consult a doctor.
When a boil forms, surgery may be required to open the formation and drain it. This will prevent the infection from spreading and speed up the healing process.
Folk remedies for treatment

On the ear or inside
What causes a pimple to appear inside the ear? The sign claims that this helps to “hear” what the people who surround him say about a person. The interpretation depends on which side is affected.
Is there a cosmetic defect in the right ear? There is nothing to worry about, since others say only good things about the person. He has an excellent reputation in society, which is not in danger. A pimple inside the left ear is a warning that a person is being slandered. Gossip spread by enemies can ruin his relationships with those closest to him. You need to think about how you can refute dirty gossip.
There is also a possibility that a person will hear about important events taking place in the lives of relatives or friends. For example, we can talk about adding to the family.
