One of the most underappreciated ways in which our bodies communicate with us is via our ears, which may reveal a lot about our overall health. Our ears can tell us a lot about our health, from the color to the shape to any strange sensations or patterns.

Possible causes of red ears include stress, hypertension, or an allergic response. Hormonal imbalances may also cause sudden redness.
A bluish tint may indicate low blood oxygen levels, which might be an indication of a problem with the heart or lungs.

Enhanced Earlobe Size: Possible triggers include infections, allergic responses, or physical trauma. A doctor should be seen for persistent swelling.

Ear skin problems may be signs of a more systemic or dermatological problem:
