Good morning, @leelou03 This conditon sounds painful for you. I’m not familar with Red Ear Syndrome so I did a little research and found a couple of informational articles that discuss RES and potential causes.

These are two links I thought were worthwhile to share.

I was able to find another member who has made reference to having Burning Ear Syndrome in these two comment links below. Hopefully @sbtheplumber1 will be able to share their experince with you to see if they’ve found any answers or relief.

Have you found anything that triggers these episodes? How long do they last?

Most of the times the red ear will just come on randomly, I can feel it coming on. Sometimes stress will bring it in. If I'm upset. It can last for hours or shorter.
Thank you for the information

Thank you @loribmt for tagging me and for sharing those links. I’m here to learn from others and provide my story in hopes of getting some help for us. @leelou03 i have noticed the red ears for several months they switch sides, burn , and itch. I spoke to my ENT whom I’ll see again in a couple weeks and he’s never heard of it. He’s going to check into it. I will also be seeing a new skin doctor March 13 maybe she will have some input and my Family Doctor March 19 . After reading the links Lori shared I will ask the doctor doing my cervical epidural Tuesday( I have several bulging disc in my neck, but no surgeon wants to touch it after I’ve had a failed back surgery April 2023). I have a cyst on my brain and severe Tinnitus and will be seeing my Neurologist in April so I will ask him if the others don’t know. I do have High Blood Pressure but haven’t noticed it being the cause, I have Sjogren’s disease I really started noticing he red ears the day after I seen my Rheumotologist ( go figure) so I didn’t get to ask her yet if it’s got anything to do with the Sjogren’s or any other Arthritis. If you have any suggestions or questions feel free to reach out to me. Unable to work over a year , 4-5 doctor appointments a week it’s great hearing other encouragements

I go to the dermatologist the 28 of March. I screen shot the links to the information you sent. It should be helpful. Thank you again
