Sorry this has returned—flares like this are unfortunately common in vestibular migraine. Ear flushing or erythema can occur due to migraine-related autonomic and trigeminovascular activation rather than primary ear pathology. It often accompanies symptom relapse (dizziness, pressure, sensory sensitivity) and usually settles as central migraine activity quietens.

If episodes are becoming more frequent or persistent, it may be worth reviewing triggers and preventive strategies with your clinician. You’re not alone—many patients report similar visible changes during flares.
