My ear

Every once and awhile the outside of my ear hurts, the boney skin area. And the ear whole and all the bones swell up too. making it impossible for a doctor to look in the ear. This happens just every once and awhile for a day or so then it goes away. I had a physical a few months ago and she saw nothing wrong with my ears. Have you ever had this happen to you? What is it? What causes it? What will make it better?

I never had this problem, I have no idea what this could be.

I still don't know what it is or what causes it either.

@dfollin It is annoying not to know the reason.

I get pain in the bony skin area; but it doesn't swell up; so I'm sorry but I can't help you.

@dfollin I have had ear problems but I do not think that. Maybe an ear, nose and throat doctor should check it out.

@dfollin They are usually the ones that take care of ears.

Well it did not swell that much. It all started when i cleaned my ears everyday. Ears are to be cleaned just once in three days.
