spots on ears

[auntievi]

Hi, can anyone help me? i have started getting spots on my ears. first there was one at the back and now there is a big red one on the same ear on the front lobe? any ideas? or is it just normal spots in an unusual place? thanks

it would have been a real 'pinger'. Never mind.
Your ears are just as greasy as your nose, so remember to give them the same treatments, e.g. Clearasil, as you would the rest of your face. Blackheads can also occur in that area, but you will find it really difficult to remove them yourself so get a very discreet friend or family member to do the squeezing for you.

Sorry - my post above was halved (I'd spell checked using word and paste and removed half in error)
Here is the full-unabridged answer!!!

You do mean zit like spots I gather? I had them myself when I was a teenager, which I gather you are? I got a giant one above where your eardrum hole starts. Couldn't pop it due to the difficulty of the location and had to let it die off. Was well gutted as it would have been a real 'pinger'. Never mind.

pardon me, but what is 'pinger'?

thanks for the help but what is a "pinger"? is it a big red pulsating zit that could be used as a navigationmark for lost ships in the night?

Auntievi - yes it could definitely be used for that purpose!

A pinger is a zit that, when squeezed, actually hits the mirror with a "ping". They're fabulous.

Don't let this distract you from the answer I gave re using Clearasil or whatever.
