Can you have a zit in your ear?

It is highly unlikely to develop a zit (pimple) inside the ear canal. Pimples, which are a type of acne lesion, typically occur on the skin in areas with a high concentration of oil-producing glands, such as the face, chest, and back. The ear canal, on the other hand, does not have these types of glands. Additionally, the skin inside the ear canal is usually thin and delicate, making it less prone to the formation of acne lesions. However, if you're experiencing discomfort or inflammation in your ear, particularly in the outer ear area, it's best to consult an ear, nose, and throat specialist (otolaryngologist) to determine the cause.
