Hello. Thank you for writing to us

I am dr.kakkar(dermatologist). I have gone through your query and I have noted your concern.However, I cant find the attached pic. You need to upload it againt in the "Reports Section".

You probably have got an inflammed cyst in ear lobe. I would suggest to my patients a course of an Oral antibiotics e.g Amoxycillin 500mg or Cephalexin 500mg, thrice daily for a week.

In addition I would suggest an oral antiinflammatory e.g either Ibuprofen 400mg or Diclofenac 50mg, twice daily for pain relief and swelling.
