This might sound gross, but I need some serious input

Anyone here ever had a pimple pop up inside your ear, like just inside in your ear canal?

I think I have something like that right now... it hurts like a sonofabitch (like those big ugly pimples do) and my ear is a little swollen.

Any suggestions, other than ear amputation?

Just don't mess with it. The more the touch it the more oil from your fingers you will add to it. In about 3 days it will just disappear.

You might want to pour some diluted hydrogen peroxide solution into your ear canal. That is what my doctor did when I had a similar nasty situation. Just pour it in, leave your head turned in such a way that it doesn't immediately leak out, and wait for the bubbling. This (I was told) helps prevent infection deeper in the ear from any residual pus after the pimple ruptured.

I do wish you had not brought this up during my breakfast. ;)

I had that once growing up too! It'll go away in a couple of days if you don't touch it.

I would make amends with all of your enemies and call your pastor for your last rights.

Or do what molly said. Just lie on your side and let the hydrogen peroxide (you can pour it straight from the bottle) and let it bubble until the bubbling slows. Its kinda tickles :p

<< At least now when you shine a light in one ear, it doesnt come out the other. >>



Thank you for showing me the silver lining :D

Check the archives-there was a similar thread about a month ago with some legit sounding medical advice. Thread was titled something like &quot;what was the most painful experience in your life?&quot; Funny as h*ll but not for the squeamish.
