What Causes Large Blisters On The Outside Of The Ear?
hi. I have what appears to be a large blister on the top, outside of my ear. It was so hot and irritated last night, and now, this morning a blister has formed. It looks like a second small one has, or is forming next to it. I should mention I have been under a lot of stress AND have been in the sun. I live on a small island and will not be able to see a dr till Monday (if that is even necessary) How do I treat it now?

Do not worry much.It could be some bacterial infection hair follicle over the ear.which is very common condition.Hope you not a Diabetic. Do not touch & squeeze the blister. Take Tab.Ibuprofen 400 mg 3 times after food and apply Ice over for the relief of pain & swelling. I think you may need some Antibiotics after consulting the physician.take care
