What Causes Pain And Swelling In The Left Ear?
I am 48 years old. I went to the doctors due to unusual swelling around my left ear that was itchy as well. No wax in that ear, but in the right one. Now my whole head itches, scalp and face. I have none of the dime size scaly spots that are common with shingles, but that is what I was diagnosed with. The swelling around my left ear includes a lump by my temple and a lump that runs from the top of my ear down to my gland below the ear. The swelled areas hurt to the touch.
