HI,Welcome to HCM.
Based on the facts of your query,In My opinion You should Get opinion of your doctor about the cause of the lump as the treatment would depend on it-
Remedy-
In My opinion you seem to be having a Boil/ insect bite, which increased post-handling by you and its infection hence spread lower in the neck and the nodes.Squeezing of the lobe caused the spread of the infection from the lump of the earlobe.
Antibiotics x 5 days
Anti-inflammatory x 5 days
Cold Compressess.
Hope this reply would help you to resolve your health concern and its worry.
