sometimes when you put on or take off tight clothing like a jumper or something, and it rubs against your ear, your ear starts to burn. why is this? is it because as your ear bends some capillaries burst/break allowing some blood to go closer to your skin? is it something to do with vaso-dilation? is it the blood rushing to your ear for some reason?
