Hi
Welcome in HCM.
I understand your concern and it appears as you are having either keloid or perichondritis on pinna of ear. Since it is painful it means there is infection going on so it will be better to give some conservative treatment followed by surgery by expert hand of plastic surgeon for excellent result.
Thanks for consulting HCM.
