Incredibly Itchy And Painful Lump Above The Earlobe At Opening Of Ear, Appeared After Ear Infection. Any Remedy?

I have this incredibly itchy and painful bump (presumably a pimple) on the inside if my ear. It's not all the way in, but just located nearly above the earlobe, at the opening of the ear. This pimpley thing only appeared after a recent ear infection (in both ears). Any ideas what it could be and the fastest way to get rid of such a nuisance?
