Hello
Welcome in H.C.M.
I have gone through your query regarding soreness on ear lobule.
According to your clinical story it appears as there may be allergic inflammation or during lying down on side position the lobule may be pressed against pillow for some time or may be kink to become sore.
As your problem is recurrent so please rule out diabetes also by investigating blood sugar.
Regards.
