Outer ear pain and redness
I have been experiencing pain in my outer ears for two days now. The pain yesterday was just for a few minutes after I touched my ear but today it is far more painful when I touched my ear just because I felt a little itch in the middle and the pain started really strong and didn’t stop for more than half an hour now. I went ove to the mirror and so that my right ear the one that pains me had turned red in the middle part of the ear. I used the cream fucidin but I don’t know if it will help.
You are likely having a furuncle inside your ear canal which has gotten infected. The pain will only increase more if you don't stop poking it with your finger or buds. You will require to take a course of antibiotics and analgesics along with compression with a warm cloth. It would take 2 3 days to reduce. But the course of antibiotics should be minimum of 1 week
