Erythromelalgia is a rare disorder characterized by 3 major symptoms: warmth, redness, and burning pain. It involves the feet and, to a lesser extent, the hands, head, and ears. We report the case of a 27-year-old man presenting with a 15-year history of episodes with edema, local hyperthermia, and burning pain of both ears.
