This sounds like early frost bite, Be very careful with cold exposure.

In extreme cold, ears can develop frostbite. In instances where the ear canal is repeatedly exposed to cold, such as cold-water surfing for example, it can develop narrowing in a condition called exostosis.

Prolonged cold exposure can lead to frostbite and potential necrosis of the auricular tissue. Just like fingers and toes.
