Outer ear pain?

Question

Outer ear pain?

Asked for Female, 40 Years

Ear pain, 1 mo, L side. Feels like cartilage but not sore to touch. Put alcohol in last PM & it brought me to my knees with pain. No fever. I feel like my skin is hot, but temp is 97.1 (WNL for me). No drainage, redness or swelling. Only thing that alleviates the pain is if I pull on it a bit. Anti-inflammatory doesn't help.
