Could Purple Earlobe And Sore Area After Popping A Cyst Be Serious?
I had a sis in my ear, so I used a hot washcloth and a pin to pop it, the next morning the tip of my earlobe is all purple and the area that was popped is sore, but the purple spot is not. Its really starting to hurt, but not the purple spot, did I puncture a vessel or something?

Hello,
Your symptoms are suggestive of a local infection, which may have spread due to the local trauma. I recommend using a local antibiotic ointment in order to help improve your situation.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
