Pain at the entrance of the ear when pressed may be caused by damage to the external auditory canal, acute otitis externa, boils on the external auditory canal and other reasons. 1. External auditory canal injury: If the patient likes to pull out the ear, and when pulling out the ear, he or she accidentally damages the external auditory canal with an ear-digging spoon, it will easily lead to pain, swelling and other uncomfortable symptoms in the patient’s ear, and the pain will be aggravated especially when pressed. 2. Acute otitis externa: If the patient’s external auditory canal is infected by bacteria and viruses, acute otitis externa will be easily induced, resulting in severe pain in the ear, tinnitus and other symptoms, which will make the patient show that the entrance of the ear hurts when pressed. 3. Boils in the external auditory canal: If the skin follicles in the cartilage area of the external auditory canal or the surrounding tissues are infected, boils in the external auditory canal can be easily induced, causing patients to experience pain when pressing at the entrance of the ear. The pain at the entrance of the ear may also be caused by other reasons, and it is recommended to consult a doctor in time to clarify the cause of the disease and then treat it.
