Hello,
From the way you have expressed your complaints, the problems you have is infected acne. As it may produce scar don't scratch it.
It is common during the adolescent period, due to hormonal changes.
As it has occurred only in the ear it can also be a boil.
But the treatment for both the conditions are almost same.
Simple application of an antibiotic cream like clindamycin cream + oral antibiotic + anti inflammatory drugs are enough to cure.
Avoid all allergic substances including allergic soaps
Best wishes

hi.. thanks for using HCM..
you could be having otitis externa, which is very painful condition..
see your ENT surgeon, send pus for culture and sensitivity, start antibiotics and analgesics based on the result..
do not use dirty ear buds for cleaning..use sterile buds..
all the very best..
