check out Erythromelalgia it might help I know this happens to me at night but mainly feet and hands, I definately have EM but it can affect any part of the body although it says hands and feet on most info. My face gets red sometimes only one cheek and my ears can burn at night too.
Hi there,
I'm a medical student from London with the exact same red ear syndrome. I've had it for 8 or so years now and both my ears flush bright red nearly every evening, burning like wildfire in the process.
I was previously diagnosed with a TMJ (Temperomandibular joint) dysfunction that caused terrible headaches to be associated with the red ears, so, I would venture that there is a degree of TMJ involvement in this horribly irritating condition. For the bad news, treating the TMJ did nothing for the ears but worked fine with regards to pain.
