A member asked:

I started to feel hypersensitive skin today first time ever in ears when having earphones there - painful. i have used now montelukast 3 months. why?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Contact reaction: Possibly you have an allergy to a material used in your earphones, showing up as contact dermatitis. Discontinue earphones, put nothing else in or on your ears, wait one week, see doctor if not better.
