Huh, as another commenter said, some people are just more susceptible than others but I've worn headphones for many hours a day to no ill effect. There should be no clamping pressure on the ears, the weight should be on the headband. Might be worth looking at different options. Over-ear vs On-ear can make a difference.

Might try different pairs. My cans for recording are HD180s, pretty standard and they really squeese your head.
My bose quiet comfort are comfortable for maybe an hour or two before i even notice I am wearing them.
From there small in ear with noise cancelling can be good
If your ears stick out or are bigger you should really go to a best buy or music shop or whatever and try on cans until you find ones that fit

If you are able to afford it, I've found the more expensive noise canceling headphones to be dramatically better, softer and more comfortable for long wearing. I'm def not an audiophile, so I'm more talking comfort than anything else... The one I've been really impressed with is the Bose Quietcomfort 35 II. They're usually $300 but often on sale on Amazon for $200.
The skin around ears have been super sensitive due to what I assume is just the natural heat build up from wearing headphones and pressure on skin not used to having pressure on it all the time. The skin is raw and irritated.
It's not terrible, but not comfortable for sure and has been limiting how much I can wear any over the ear or even on the ear headphones.
