I can hardly believe there is so much about red hot ears on Google. I am a grandmother and have for a few years had bouts of red hot ears.... one at a time or both. It is embarassing. Also, they often get scaly red sore/itchy areas on the skin over the cartiledge areas. For many years I almost always have red palms and soles of my feet. Recently, I have ocassionaly experienced tinglng of one side of my nose, and tonite I am having an off and on tingling sensation just inside my left ear, like a flea is in there or something. I don't have fleas. Neither do my dogs. Any sugestions? Also, do you or anyone you know out there have trouble with irregular heart beat and/or can hear your own heartbeat like a swooshing sound?

I've suffered from this for a long long time now, and have always imagined it was unique as no one else I have has this problem. My ears, either both or one will go exceptionally hot anytime, anywhere any weather. The triggers are mainly alcohol, touch, talking about it, stress and embarrasment. It's really been a pain to me, because as weird as it sounds I splash water over my ears to cool them down multiple times a day, and this is giving me dry skin around the ear area. It's a nightmare for me, I can't concentrate, sleep and get grumpy unless I cool my ears down. I have a fan next to my bed on in the winter or summer even at night on my face otherwise I can't get to sleep. This problem is so bad for me, and so embarrasing. I visit the toilets multiple times when in restaurants to cool my ears down, people think I am weird when I splash water over my ears. I'm 18 years of age, I lead a fairly normal life but have an inability to relax anywhere mainly spouted from my lack of confidence over being slightly overweight and having awful curly hair. It's kind of a curse to me, as it bothers me a lot. I get no migrains, no headaches. I do smoke, I have a varied diet and don't like sweets very much. I like the odd bottle of wine, however my ears still get red hot when I havn't had any for days. I'm so sick of this problem, and I'm so glad I found this place. If we could all contribute and put together some information regarding this, hopefully we can all get some insight regarding the matter, I'm a webdesigner so maybe can compile a site regarding this. I think I've got a particuarly bad case though, I can feel my ears getting hot as I type this. It's so infuriating and embarrasing, I pity anyone with it. I'm glad I found this site, I feel better for sharing this now. Take care guys!
