Brightest Blessings People :)

Sorry to have to ask so many questions but i was yet again wondering...

My ear lobe and around it are very sore, i have put surgical spirit on it but it insists on being sore.

I was wondering if there is anything herbal or i dunno (LOL) that could help it
If you have any suggestions i would love to read them :)

Thanks, Merry Part and Blessed Be.... WhiteMoon xXx

The first recomendation would be get it checked out with a doctor. There are so many factors. Do you have pierced ears? Could the hole be infected? Do you have a cold? In that case, it could be your nodes are sensitive. Could it be an ear infection? Did you bang your ear or slept on it funny? It's hard to know from what you've described.

Well I have had many ear problems...

I cannot wear earings because i have sensitive skin.
The area that is red it underneath the ear lobe- the skin between your face and the ear.
I do have some hearing problems too but i have had them checked out! :(
If there is anything soothing for it please let me know!
Thankyou...

In love and light... WhiteMoon xXx

Ok, I'm not a doctor or any type of medical person. If that area is tender to the touch, you should see a doctor. It could just be a virus infection & the nodes under there are swollen, something that would happen if you are getting a cold. But just to be safe...

If it's just the skin that's red & sore, it might be a bit of ecszema. I don't know if surgical spirits is like rubbing alcohol. If it is, it could be drying out that area & making it worst. If you have some grapeseed oil or flaxseed oil, try dabbing a bit of that on.

Can you get hold of some calendula petals? If you can, try this recipe. It's good for a lot of skin conditions & very soothing & healing. Because you have sensitive skin, I would recomend a patch test first. Put a bit of it on the inner forearm & leave for 24 hours. If you don't have a reaction to it, it should be ok to use.

Infuse 4 tbsp of calendula petals in 4 tbsp of grapeseed oil. You can heat the oil very gently over a double boiler for a couple of hours or let it sit in the sun for 2 weeks. Strain & store in a clean bottle.
