Hello, i just noticed today that i have 4-8 circular purple spots on my right ear, but it doesn't hurt & no pain. should i go to the doctor?

?probably: If the spots go away within the week, then no worries, It could have been a dermal allergic reaction. If they persist however, or grow rapidly, you need to see a dermatologist. It is probably benign, but you don't want a melanomatous process to get started.
