This just started yesterday, but it is pretty extreme. Yesterday both of my ears and my cheeks were bright purple all day, but today it has been my left ear only. It's not exactly painful, but it's getting annoying. This question about the fluorescent lights intrigues me. Although I've worked under fluorescent lights for years, I have been working longer hours lately than ever before. Being tired seems to be another common theme in these posts, so maybe I have a hot red ear because I'm exhausted. Or maybe it's from a food allergy, or autoimmune disease. I am allergic to gluten and corn, but I am not eating foods with those ingredients. Also, I do have an autoimmune thyroid disorder. So many possibilities. I wish someone knew what caused this. More than anything, I'm just curious!
I notice so many of us get this late in the day or evening. Just curious. How many of you work or are exposed to florescent lights for long periods of time?
