What is the reason for the peeling of the ear contour?

If there is peeling on the ear contour, you can first apply a certain amount of moisturizer to the peeling area to see if there is any sign of relief. There are many reasons for peeling of the ear contour, such as eczema, dryness, kidney deficiency, etc., so friends should carefully check the reasons and then take the correct conditioning or treatment methods.

The main reasons for ear peeling are as follows:

1. Due to dryness

The human body's epidermal cells undergo metabolism every day, and the withered epidermal cells will fall off. In the summer, we sweat a lot, so we can’t feel the shed epithelial cells. In the winter, it’s cold and dry, so the shed epithelial cells accumulate.

2. The aftereffects of ear picking

Ear peeling may be caused by frequent ear picking. Long-term stimulation will cause increased peeling, which looks like earwax, but it is not. It is recommended not to pick your ears frequently to avoid irritation-induced increased peeling. Generally, it will gradually return to normal.

3. Caused by auricular eczema

Ear peeling may also be caused by delayed allergic changes in the skin inside the auricle, which is more common in auricular eczema. It requires improving the body's immunity through proper lifestyle adjustments, combined with appropriate topical medications. Eat poultry and eggs as much as possible, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and try to avoid frequent local stimulation.

4. Caused by kidney deficiency

According to traditional Chinese medicine, the kidney opens up to the ear, so peeling ears may also be related to kidney deficiency. It is the golden period for winter tonic, and it is recommended to eat more kidney-nourishing foods, such as lamb, beef, quail, leeks, etc. In addition, in winter, we should follow the health principles of concealing essence, nourishing the kidneys and invigorating yang, and avoid "overindulgence".

In addition to ear peeling, different ear problems also reflect physical diseases of the human body.

Peeling ears

Debulking is the shedding of local skin. We call it debulking, which is peeling, and it is also a special ear shape. At this time, you should pay attention, because the acupoint where the dislocation occurs indicates discomfort in the corresponding part of the body. For example, the person just now had a dislocated acupoint on his stomach, which means that his stomach is not very healthy. Be sure to see a doctor promptly.

Rough ear helix

If rough and uneven spinous process-like structures appear on the ear helix, it indicates bone hyperplasia in the lumbar and cervical vertebrae, which can be confirmed by X-ray. Some cancer patients may experience tenderness, bloodshot eyes, cartilage deformation or black spots in the helix. If the ear auricle develops nodules, strip-like protrusions, circular depressions, or criss-crossing lines, it indicates liver disease, gallstones, tuberculosis, heart disease, or a tumor.
