Redness and blister on both ears

About three days ago, both my ears felt very burned and were red.  The next day, my ears had a blister on them where water was coming out when the blister popped.  What's weird is that the same exact thing is happening to both ears.  Nothing like this has ever happened to me.

Hello,
For any such blisters on the ears, the first possibility is of any viral infection like herpes virus which may be causing Ramsay hunt syndrome. It occurs when the chicken pox virus lying dormant in the body casues shingles infection of the facial nerve near one of your ears and causes painful red rash with fluid-filled blisters on the ears.

To rule out this possibility and initiate an early management, I suggest you an immediate doctor’s evaluation.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
