Diagnosis Checklist: Questions your doctor may ask (and why!)

During a consultation, your doctor will use various techniques in their assessment of Earlobe symptoms. Your doctor may ask several questions when assessing your condition. It is important to remember that your consultation is a two-way process and any extra information you can share with your doctor about your symptoms may help them with their diagnosis. Some of the questions your doctor may ask are listed below:

• How long have you had the earlobe symptoms? - to determine if acute or chronic.
• What particular earlobe symptoms do you have? - e.g. chilblains may cause earlobe inflammation; methemoglobinemia may cause blue earlobes; Raynaud's syndrome may cause earlobe numbness, pain, pallor or redness; infected ear lobe due to ear ring allergy may cause ear lobe pain, redness, swelling or discharge; eczema may cause dry, red and scaly skin on the ear lobes.
• Is there redness around a hole for an ear ring? - suggests infected ear lobe. Often due to contact allergy to nickel or chromium in an ear ring.
• If also blue tongue, is there a history of drug ingestion? - e.g. potassium chlorate, sulfanilamide, phenacetin, nitrites and nitrates may cause hemoglobin abnormalities and thus central cyanosis.
• Has there been exposure to significant cold circumstances? - e.g. chilblains may cause inflammation, itching or burning sensations to the ear lobes. Often also involves lower legs and feet.
