try placing a hot rag on it to draw the infection up, then maybe use a sterlized needle to open it. If its on the outside only

If you go on www.webmd.com you will look under abscess. What you have in your ear is called a furuncle. I get them sometimes. They can be painful. Misjackel is right, you need to drain the abcess which is full of pus dead cells and bactereia. I have used hydrogen peroxide on a q-tip if I get to them right away. You may have to go to the Dr. to have it incised and drained. I have had this done too. It can be painful but it is a good idea to keep your own fingers and germs out of your ear. I had one infected so badly that my ear canal was swollen shut....because I kept picking at it to pop it, and I had washed my hands before and it still got worse. Good luck.

Yes; outer ear. Since any clogged pore can become a pimple, and you have pores all over your body, the potential of a pimple forming anywhere on the skin is possible.

I have the same thing rite now but I had a little 1 in 1 year and a Huge one in the other ear. I popped the little one and it is fine. The big one, I am just going to have to see. I hate going to the doctor, so I will do the best I can not to!

Pop it!! With a q-tip. But then keep your ear really clean cos otherwise you'll get more in the same/near place. They actually pop quite easily. Making it hot by dipping a facecloth in really hot water (repeatedly) and pressing it against it and then pop it with a q-tip on either side. Lotsa clear pus will come out and maybe a lil blood :) If you dont pop it it will be there for AGES. (p.s the hot cloth thing works on ALL pimples esp if the are those horrible invisible-head ones!! lol

Ugh. This is the worst placee to havee a pimple.
Anonymous advicee was NO HELP, pop it? I hade that same problem. Don't touch it because the infection might spread, don't lean on it because it will cause it to either pop or hurt really bad, and don't scratch it because its just painful. Try taking some Advil or Tylenol that will fight the pain. If the pain keeps then You really need a doctor.

let it run its course...eventually you will bump it and it will pop.....ugh

Oh my I had the same problem last year, dont ever try popping it because the infection can spread. You can either wait for someone and see if the pain subsides and if it dries out but if it gets worse you'll have to see the doc, he gave me some painkillers and a liquid to put in the ear and the whole thing went away in no time.

umm you could pop it ..which hurts rly badly lol but feels better after
or put a rag on it wit warm water tht usually works

dude I have that right now and I don't know what to do except trying to pop it didn't work and I couldn't see it in the mirror cause it was pretty far in there. I'll post again when I get rid of it to see what worked
