What Causes Swollen Earlobe And Fluid Discharge Out Of Ear Lobe?

My 5 week old son has a swollen earlobe and fluid coming out of the earlobe (not the ear canal) what could this be? I dont know if this has anything to do with it but he also has a diaper rash but it's on the sides do his testicles and high on his butt (not near the anus).
