Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
The history and symptoms are suggestive of a pustule over the ear, as the contents were drained by pricking it with a needle. It is not a good thing to do as it may lead to infection.
As you have done this you have to follow
1.Keep it clean and dry
2.Complete drainage of the content.
3.Daily dressing
4.A course of antibiotics
The aforementioned measures help to control the symptoms and improve the condition.
Thank you.
