I had a sore in my right ear, right inside, but in a weird enough spot that I couldn't see it with a mirror. It was painful, but not too bad. I left it alone and 2 days later I guess it was a zit because it popped? Instead of a bump there was a crusty scab. I left that alone as well and its fine now. However (this is 4 days later) I have one in my LEFT ear same spot!!! ARG! This one hurts BAD! I can't lay my head down on that side at night, its excruciating! I can't touch my ear, or move my jaw even a little off when chewing or I feel like I might cry!!! Are these pimples? Do they hurt anyone else this bad!? What to do!? I don't usually break out anywhere except maybe one or two around that time of the month and never before in MY EARS! AHK! What to do? And what are they!? Thanks! OH and please don't tell me to pop it, I can't even bear the thought of my hand NEAR my ear right now.....

It is difinitely possible to get a zit in your ear.. In fact I jut got one and I'm 56! Try applying heat compresses several time of the day to get the zit to come to a head and pop...

There is no simple answer to this and like you nobody on this site can see your ears so you only really have one choice and that is to go and seek a proper health professionals opinion.
It sounds like you have an otitis externa (infection of the canal) which would account for the pain when chewing etc. You may have picked this up from going swimming recently / submerging head in spa maybe????
Don't panic your doctor can prescribe you some topical drops and some pain medicine to swallow ... there is no need to suffer!!
