Why Are Ears Constantly Sticking To Head/neck?

My ears are constantly sticking to my head/neck. When I lie down to sleep at night, I often sleep on my side. When I roll over, I feel like my ear is peeling off of the skin. The back of my ear, mainly my ear lobe feels sweaty, sticky, and wet. Sometimes it is like a bubbling sensation. This happens to both of my ears, but it is more common with my right ear. I am a 20-year-old female. I want to know why my ears are always so sticky and why they annoy me so much when I sleep or lie down.

I think you have an oily skin which produces more sticky sweat. Kindly try an alcohol based skin ointment ( erytop) and see the difference
