I want to tear My ear off.

I used nitro glycerin patches cut in half and stuck behind ear over night. 10 pack. Gave me 20 pieces. At the end of the 20 days it almost completely cleared. The amazing thing after I stopped and didn't bother buying more the healing continued. My chondrodermatitis completely cleared up. Thank you internet. Don't know why doctors in Australia don't even supply this. Not available. Thankyou Thailand. Was able to try while on holiday there. You need to research the net and use good reasoning. Relying on doctors for problems alone these days is just dangerous. Gather all the info and make a plan for yourself. Blindly following your local doctor is just crazy. Do your own research.

[@JMGardnerMD]

Thank you so much for the feedback and info. You are the second person to tell me about this. I will pass this on to my dermatologist colleagues.

this happened to me but on my tragus and I don't have no piercing, but its painful, how do I get rid of it, if not im going to the emergency room and see if they could open my ear and take out whats in there.

[@TehReckfuL]

I have the same thing and it's been on m ear for about a year i think it's best to go in and get it treated because this shit is hard to get rid of.

Is there a histolgic difference between this and Polychondritis? I have Psoriasis arthritis.The histologic Report sag’s it’s a chondrodermatis at the anthehelix.(very painful!)

[@JMGardnerMD]

Yes this usually looks different than polychondritis clinically and histologically.

@@JMGardnerMD ,i Thank you soooo much.I‘m from Germany and i worked a long time in a histologic Labor.Most of the time i do my cuts at the microtome…In the 90‘,our Labor was the biggest in Germany( Lake of constance).This is the reason for my question.I only believe in microscopic statements!😜

I have it rn and I can't even wear earbuds anymore

[@sams5177]

@@SpyceptModz if u dont mind me asking.... did u end up treating it by any chance? I have it atm and it's so frustrating. I thought it was a pimple at first in the antihelix part of my earlobe but it's been a week or so and nothings changed.

[@SpyceptModz]

@@sams5177 it took 2 weeks to just go away on its own

[@sams5177]

@@SpyceptModz Ok thank you so much for taking the time to even respond. Hopefully it goes away on its own. I thought it might just be a simple pimple lodged in a random spot on my ear. Thanks again for ur help

[@SpyceptModz]

@@sams5177 no problem! If it’s the same thing I had than it’ll go away very soon
