Hi. I've Had A Few Bouts Of Herpetic Whitlow On

Hi. I've had a few bouts of herpetic whitlow on my fingers and thumb. I've been feeling the same aches, tingling and burning from my shoulder to my thumb that I always get prior to the breakout. However, now it seems to be moving up to my ear and I'm in excruciating pain. Is it possible to get inside the ear canal?
