Sores inside the ear are caused by the Foot-Shaoyin Kidney Meridian (Zu Shao Yin Shen Jing, Meridian of Foot Shaoyin Kidney), whose qi connects to the ear. When this meridian is deficient, wind-heat pathogens take advantage of the weakness and enter the ear along the vessels, where they contend with qi and blood, thus causing sores to form inside the ear.
