my left ear got so hot and red that it was hot to the touch. It kept on grtting hotter until i couldn't stand. Once the burning stopped my ear coole down it was much darker than the other one. It appeared to have been burned. My other ear does it also, but not at the same time.

My ears - yes both - have gotten warm and red before with no real explanation. A couple days ago, they got so hot they were almost painful! And the shade of red was approaching a purple-ish color! This lasted for a little more than an hour and then my ears returned to a normal temperature and color. Wondering if anybody else has experienced similar traits? There is no pattern to how often the "red ear syndrome" strikes me, but it is a few times each month where it's very noticable.
