Why does it hurt when I touch the pimples in my ears?

When it comes to acne, many people will have endless tears to shed, especially boys and girls in adolescence. Due to excessive stress, they often get a lot of acne. However, some people get acne in the cochlea, which hurts when touched. It may be an inflammatory infection. During the period of acne in the ears, it is best not to pick the ears, and spicy and irritating foods are usually prohibited.

Methods/Steps

Caused by oily outer ear and clogged pores: For example, in summer, the weather is hot, the skin sweats and produces oil, and the ears have abundant hair follicles, so naturally the oily secretion will cause sebum and other substances to clog the pores and cause acne. Also, after washing your hair, because shampoo and conditioner contain a lot of oil, if you don't wipe it clean, it will easily cause pustules.

Furuncles caused by damp heat: Furuncles are infectious diseases deep in the hair follicles, caused by bacterial infection, air or food allergies, life pressure, poor hygiene and other factors. They are painful and sometimes leave scars if not treated in time. Anti-infection treatment is required.

Caused by getting angry: Traditional Chinese medicine believes that acne is mostly caused by excessive body heat, or damp heat in the spleen and stomach, or excessive heat in the lung meridian due to bad mood, or eating fatty and greasy food, which will burn the yin fluid for a long time and cause yin deficiency and excessive fire, thus leading to excessive heat and toxicity in the blood and accumulation of damp heat.

Inflammation of lymph nodes: Lymph is our body's detoxification system, and lymph nodes are spread throughout the tiny corners of our body. Under certain inflammation conditions, lymph nodes become swollen and inflamed, which not only causes pain, but also protrudes in the form of small lumps when felt by hand.

Chronic otitis externa: Common symptoms include discomfort and itching in the external auditory canal, a small amount of secretions, and occasionally symptoms of acne inside the ear. Patients with a long course of the disease may suffer hearing loss due to thickening of the skin in the external auditory canal.

Caused by kidney deficiency: Due to kidney deficiency in the human body, the patient will experience rising internal heat, which often leads to acne in the ears.

When this happens, be sure not to touch the affected area with your hands, because there are a lot of bacteria on our hands. It is best to apply anti-infection and anti-inflammatory drugs. You should also pay attention to your daily eating habits and eat less irritating and greasy foods.
