Cause For Swelling In The Ear Lobe?
Hi I woke up to what I thought was a spot on my ear lobe but throughout the day it s got really swollen and red as well as really painful. I tried to squeeze it to see if there was any liquid would come out but it never. Any ideas on what it could be.

Hello
It is likely to be an infection, most likely due to minor trauma like finger mail scratch or piercing, Please do'nt worry , just apply mupirocin ointment 2-3 times a day and try not to squeeze it again. You will be fine
