Hi,
The lesion in ear may be Pyogenic granuloma. It is a small lesion consisting proliferated capillaries. It bleeds on touch. So, you consult the dermatologist for the firm diagnosis. After thorough examination, he might decide to remove the lesion by electrocautery.
I hope this would help you.
Thanks.
