Is it normal my ears get hot and red for no reason?

Sometimes I'll just be sitting there and my ears will start burning and when I look in the mirror they're totally red. A lot of the time it's only on one ear. Anyone else have this?

    Yes! I have this, it is an abnormality in blood vessels, they expand too quickly and don't constrict fast enough. Mine is related to rosacea. It can happen when Im stressed, after eating but mostly when I change temperatures quickly like going from outside to a warm room. Its probably harmless but its annoying.

    Hmm... that's interesting. I've heard of that before too. Not sure, but if you ever do find out... let us all know what it is.

    I've heard people say that when your ears are red, it means you have to pee. But I don't know... do you have to pee? haha! And of course, it's also said that when they're red, someone is talking about you.

    My ears do that - and it's usually just one, too. :))

  • This happens to me sometimes but I've never known why. I'm guessing it's pretty normal.

    My brother's ears do that. I don't know if it's normal or not, but I don't think it's harmful.
