Burning Sensation And Bruising On The Ear Lobe. Have Moving Knot. What Could It Be?

My ear lobe is bruised and has a burning sensation. When I rub it, it feels like a knot in that spot. I took my earrings out, thinking they were causing this. But the earrings were 24k gold and I dont have any metal allergies. I also thought it may be a pimple , but the knot moves as it would in a neck or shoulder . What could this be?
