Not sure but I'm thinking it might have to do with the ear canal being inflamed or smaller than normal and the blood not being able to flow properly. I didn't have this until after an accident. It's happening right now as I type and it's just my left ear.
I am 23 years old. I have been getting BOTH RED EARS since I was 9 or so.
I have monitored this problem over the years. Why? because unlike many of you getting it when you are older, I have had it for almost my whole life.
I am currently trailing treatment with the V PULSE laser which is meant to minmise the size of capillaries.
there is no pill to take to offset it, there is not much talked about in terms of treatment. I have set out on a journey to find a sucessful treament for this condition. I have had enough, you all know how bad it feels to get it, well times it by two - because both of mine go red on a daily basis.
I know what you are going through, I have read many posts by other people on other forums, but we need to start going through solutions and results for this condition. not much is known about it, and I have been the gineu pig for many tests.
I will set up a site dedicated to this problem. please email me any treatments you have gone for to try and solve this condition that we know little about still on how to fix permanently.
I would say it is nerve related and wil lsoon see a neurologist as well if the laser treatment fails.

Interesting point. It always starts in my left ear and an ENT did note that my left ear canal is "malformed" and much smaller than my right.
At the moment, it's my right ear and burns so bad.
