Pimples in ears??

This is gross but... Within the past week I've gotten A BUNCH of zits in my ears!! In one ear I have 2 smallish but painful zits inside my ear and on the other I have two bigger painful ones on my ear lobe but those two are under the skin! Do you think it's just a coincidence or is there a culprit? I use qtips to clean my ears like every other day... They hurt too!! Thanks.

I've gotten random zits like that too! I just leave it there tho and let it heal properly.. maybe add concealer if its really bad? no one even looks at ears so it dsnt really matter especially if you wear your hair downn.

Do you use headphones a lot? It could be bacteria built up on them.

Could be hormones :/
I get breakouts randomly - & in random places - sometimes. it definitely could also be headphones, like Courtney suggested.
I would leave the under-the-skin pimples alone. maybe put some hot clothes on your ears to help draw the infection upward. it's hard to deal with ear pimples cause they're in such inconvenient spots! lol

This has happened to me to. Normally I just try to leave them alone or I put on some acne medication
