A member asked:
Is it bad to squeeze and pull really hard on the upper outer part of the ear? can this affect anything if done often?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No worries : Just pulling on your ear should not cause any problems but why does someone need to do that? There may be some underlying issues with the ear canal that need to be evaluated since people don’t routinely just pull on their ears. Is the person autistic or have any mental handicaps?
