Are Pain In Ears A Cause For Concern?
I am having pain in both my ears on the inside on the cartiledge not the inner ear. It is not like an ear ache. It hurts when I press on the ear. I noticed it when I was cleaning my ears with a q-tip. Is this something I should be concerned about. Noticed it yesterday.

Hi Thank for asking to HCM.
As per your clinical history it appears as you are having some trauma to skin of ear canal while cleaning with Q tip.
Stop cleaning with q-tip . Keep ear dry ,don’t allow water go inside while bath.
You will be fine.
If you don’t get relief , ENT examination become essential.
Hope this information helpful to you, take care and have a nice day.
