Suggest Remedy For Painful Blind Pimple Under The Concha Flap Of The Ear
Hi, I have a throbbing pain under the concha flap of my ear. I initially thought it was a pimple. The area is slightly red and inflamed, but there is no head to speak of. I believe it is causing headaches and neck pains. Please tell me what I should do. Thanks.

As per your symptoms most probably you are having folliculitis or there could be a furuncle.
If it is small and more superficial, it may break spontaneously....pus will be drained and lesion heals with time.
If it is large or deep seated...it may require incision and drainage under the coverage of antibiotic and anti-inflammatory agents. You should go to your primary health care provider for further treatment.
