Hi, I know your post is old but hope to reach you. My son (9 y.o.) gets red ear almost every day (usually at bed time but sometimes during the day too). this started more than a year ago, with periods when does not happen at all and other times of the year like now (winter) that is happening almost every day. in his case it is very painful, he says it is 'burning" (that is she feels it very hot) to the point he almost cries and asks for help. what we usually do is we turn a fan next to his ear or he puts a cold compress (from the fridge) on his ear. His ear is not only red but also swollen and found small "nodules" on the helix. I am not sure this is a separate/different problem or part of the same. Right now he has a nodule (inside of the helix skin not superficial like a pimple, but it raises the helix like a little bump). I will take him to check by his pediatrician but I know how it will go... put steroidal cream or antihistamine drugs... we'll check though. I wonder if what you have had is the same and would like to hear what you have found to help you. thanks.
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.
