Can Allergy Caused Due To A Hat Cause Read Areas In The Same Spot In Both Ears?
hi there, extremely itchy red areas on both ears in the exact same spots. almost look like they could develop into blisters. thought perhaps it could be a cold sore, but is that likely to happen to both ears in the same area at the same time? could it be a reaction to a hat/cold weather/allergy etc? no known allergies.

Hi,
Hat material may be synthetic is likely cause of inducing allergy. red ears may be the part of allergy.So, avoid to wear for few months. After the cure of the skin lesions, wear again.. andsee whether the allergy recurs or not. This is trial and error to find out the allergy to any thing.
Hope this helps.
