Why do our ears turn red sometimes?

You have good blood flow.

I don’t think you have an ear infection unless you’re experiencing other symptoms of an ear infection.

My ears turn red sometimes too; it happens to pretty much everyone. It’s related to blushing. Looks like a certain Fluther user answered it here: http://askville.amazon.com/ears-turn-red-hot-apparent-reason/AnswerViewer.do?requestId=4107810

Personally I’ve never understood why you turn red when you’re embarrassed; that only makes you even more embarrassed!

yes the skin in very thin there…high blood pressure…etc.?

Mine never do.

We always say in our house red ears = tired person!!

@ChazMaz Do you see them often?

I try my best to not have them feel neglected.

@judochop, My right ear is red right now and I’ve noticed this before off and on

Stop looking in the mirror.

@ChazMaz Stop looking in the mirror~

Yes ma’am.

You don’t always have to see them, though. Often, it’s when my ears feel hot and then I can tell that they’re red.

@DominicX Hey where do you see “my ears feel hot” in the question/details?~

Because we have just asked a rather matronly woman when she was due and she has answered with, “What are you talking about?”

They feel like they’re hot when I’m either really embarrassed or in extremely high dudgeon, but one would barely notice they’re red because I am a tan-coloured person. And I wear my hair over my ears most of the time.
