i thought i was weird for having this problem..but now..wow.. i know im not at all weird.. it might be one of those syndromes you guys mentioned..i was a vegan til recently, i started eating pork and chicken.. now i get the sleepless nights and migraines and the red hot left ear for no apparent reason.sometimes it does "travel" from left to right.. but its always on the left.. i thought it was an old wives tale (that somebody was cursing me) or something..but now i think it might be a med condition.. hmm.. good luck to us..
I have this same problem! I went to the doctor, and she also told me it is an aura associated with migraines (which I do get). I also get a red ear when I am tired, stressed, or angry. It will always start in the left ear, and sometimes it will "travel" to the right ear. So strange!!
My son Alex - who is 6 and mildly autistic suffers from red ears as well. Without a doubt, it stems from a food allergy. 2 hours after injesting foods with high phenolic contents, his ear or ears turn bright red and are hot. After an hour or so it passes. You Can confirm testing thru Great Plain Labrotories with their IgG 96 food panel delayed reaction food test (simple blood draw). Cost of test $200.
