It may be a boil as well, as that can take a couple of weeks to heal, and can be extremely painful, nose and ear boils are rare but can be more painful then other areas. It starts as a red mark on the surface of your skin and then in sometimes as little as 34-36 hours can change to a puss filled painful boil. Warm compresses are advised and they usually heal theirself but in extremely painful areas they have the meed for medical treatment.
