    What’s the most likely diagnosis?

    It’s an infection.

    I’ll post the correct answer in about three days!

    Correct answer:

    Erysipelas infection of the external ear.

    An acute streptococcal infection of the dermis (superficial lymphoid tissue can be affected, as well). It can occur on practically every part of the body, but the limbs, cheeks and the areas around the eyes and ears are affected most often.
