Suggest Remedy For Painful Pimple In Ear Canal

I have a very painful pimple in my ear canal and it won t go away it has been there for 3 days and if I put pressure on the outside of my ear it hurts even worse I have used hydrogen peroxide for the last two days and it still hasn t gone away I can t see it but I know it s there because when I went to clean my ears with a q-tip if I put pressure on this one spot it triggers the pain.how can I get rid of it without going to the doctor.
