As a result of popping what was, I believe to be a pimple or buildup due to the back of my ear cracking from being dry in the winter, there is now scar tissue. It s kind of linear in shape, travelling from right behind the ear, to around my jaw / lymph node. This about about 3 or 4 weeks ago. The right side of my jaw/head has been getting a slight pulsating ache, if you will, since yesterday. Is it from the cold air, the fact that I have braces... Or something worse? The ear and surrounding area looks normal, minus the scar tissue, and there is no pain to the touch and no loss of hearing or extreme internal pain or bleeding etc
