I noticed pimple-like on my ear lobe in March 2010. gradually, it swelled in size and now after six months, it is like a pea in size and red in colour. Otherwise painless, but feel pain when pressed. I am scared, what is the remedy. I cannot wear my ear ring now. I got my ear lobe joined by surgery, which was split due to hanging ear ring two years back. An antibiotic treatment did not improve my condition.
