Sounds like beginning of rosacea. Ice pack will help and stay calm when it happens. Carbs/sug as well as nitrates will make it worse as well as caff.and alcohol

Dear Paul
From the information that was provided, it is difficult to say whether the burning in your left ear is due to medical/ psychiatric reasons. Considering that your anxiety is under control, I would recommend that you consult with your physician to rule out any medical reasons for your symptoms. Wish you all the best.

Sincerely

HFHS-M.D.
