If I was in this much pain and had an ear pimple for 8 months, I would definitely go to a doctor. I don't care if they *do* think I'm a hypochondriac. What the heck am I paying for insurance for if I'm not gonna use it when I need it? And I doubt they would think that of you anyway. Your ears are a delicate area and should be treated as such. They will be able to see that you're not faking a big red pimple in your ear. They've seen it before, and know that it is painful. Plus, if it's lasted that long, it may be a boil (not a pimple), which will keep coming back if you don't get the root out, which usually requires lancing (cutting) the area open and getting *everything* out. Just popping it with a pin and squeezing the c**p out of it usually doesn't get the root out of a boil.

OR, it might just be a pimple in your ear and it will go away in a day or four. I get one every 6 or 8 years and they HURT. The first time I freaked out and went running to the doctor. He told me "you have a pimple in your ear. It will go away on its own in a few days. Don't try to pop it."

If you have good insurance and are really worried, a trip to the doctor is a good idea. I am guessing that 23 and posting medical questions on the internet means either no inurace or bad insurace. If that is the case, give it a couple of days as long as it is just sore and annoying.

If you get to the point that "sore" is replaced with "REALLY painful" you need a doctor. If it hits "excrutiating", you need an ER.



Ok, Let's say that pimple comes to a head and begin to drain for a day, feels like your head is about to explode and you feel extremely tired. Is it time to see the doctor immediately?

OMG I have this pain now for over a week and i feel my ears and head is gonna explode plzz anyone there to help me out and even if i go to my local GP they either tell me to get paracetmol or just leave it like that cope the pain :(((( my GP is hillarious they just give you Paracetamol or Anti-Biotic for any illness etc. any doctors in manchester uk who are specialists at this, I would really appreciate to come to your GP and get appropriate medication for myself :D THX and yes if anyone knows the natural cure of this please feel free to comtact me , once a again thank you very much :D

It is never a good idea to pop a pimple in your ear.....case in point, a few years ago my father had a pimple in his ear and decided to let my mom pop it.  Even though she sterilized whatever she used to pop it with, he still managed to get a staph infection and his ear swelled to 3x its size and was more painful for him than if it would have just been left to run its course.  He eventually had to go to the doctor to get diagnosed and treated because his ear began to have a cauliflower like appearance.  They are horribly painful, but don't manipulate them unless you are a professional.

I know what you're talking about. Whenever I get them, they HURT! I can't sleep on the side that has the pimple because its just so darn painful. They hurt so much, that I just don't care and pop them anyway. It's bad, I know, but my doctor wasn't exactly helpful, and I was desperate for relief.

I have a pimple in my ear right now and it causing me to get migraines. It hurts like crazy and I don't know what to do

yes, you are right. I used to get these all the time. I went on atkins due to pcos (poly cystic ovarian syndrome) insuline resistance. It is the sugar and carbs in your diet. Change your diet and they will go away.

I never get them anymore.

Try tea tree oil. Put it on a Q-tip, and dab the pimple with the oil. I usually do at bedtime, and they would disappear in the morning.

Plus u really don't want to put anything in your ear either like earbuds or something like that because it will put more pressure on your ear and make it hurt worse
