Possible TMI...

So I've had this pain in my right ear for a while now and I had no idea what was causing it.  It just kept getting worse so I was starting to get worried about it.  It was always the worst when I woke up in the morning, like it was sore from sleeping on it.  I've tried to figure out what was going on before, but I could never figure out what was causing the pain...until this morning.

I woke up and the pain was horrible!  My ear felt like somebody had been trying to pull it off while I was sleeping.  So I was feeling around to see if there was anything weird and I noticed that there was a little ridge in my right ear that wasn't in my left ear.  So I got my little mirror out to try to see the part of my ear where this thing was and right in the middle of it was this huge blackhead!  I knew immediately what it was...a huge zit in my ear.  One that has just been getting bigger and bigger for months because I had no idea what it was.  I got out a wash cloth and soaked it in hot water and then held it on my ear for about 20 mins and that did the trick.  I barely had to push on that sucker and it popped like a balloon!  So disgusting.

But, I feel SO much better now!  Like I can actually sleep on my right side tonight without having horrible ear pain!
