So, I had to walk home this morning from my friends house, and it was freezing. I didn't have a hat or mittens and I wasn't dressed warm at all. The only thing I had that I was sort of glad for was a scarf. I have four piercings on my ear and so the metal just made my ears colder. I tried tying my scarf around my head to keep my ears warm but that didn't end up helping, plus I looked like a dork. I got to Taco Bell on state street to eat with a friend, and my right ear seriously started to burn. After it got warm, it stopped hurting thankfully. I ended up taking a cab the rest of the way instead of walking another fifteen minutes. Later on at home, my ear started to burn again. Now, it's bright red, swollen, and still burns. It's that same feeling you get when you burn your hand on the stove or an iron or something. It's driving me CRAZY. Frostbite is awful. At least it hasn't turned white, and I hope it doesn't get that far. The weird thing though, is that it's only on one ear, not that I want it on both.

I feel your frustration!
I have sensitive skin whenever it comes to the cold and frostbite easily. With coming in and out of buildings, it is always annoying to have to bundle up and de-bundle wherever I go.
Sounds like you needed to bundle up -- http://tinyurl.com/362j6n
When I was little I went out with my family for a traditional nightly sledding adventure and ended up getting frostbite on two of my toes. I still remember the aweful feeling and that numbness. I'm doing the polar plunge tomorrow, and Im getting a little nervous because it's supposed to be 15 degrees. We'll see what happens.
I hate bundling up because I feel like I am suffocating inside. I hate wearing a hat too since it messes up my hair, so my ears are always exposed to the cold and they really hurt. Last week, I came home from the cold, my ears were hurting pretty bad, then I took a nap and slept on my side. When I woke up, my left ear was really really painful, like someone had just punched my ear. It hurt for 2 days.
Has anyone's ear ever split from being so cold? Mine did this past week. I think it's pretty ridiculous.
