Suggest Treatment For Red And Irritated Ear Lobe

Hi, a couple of days ago the outside of my ear began hurting and the skin is red and irritated. I don t know if I got bitten by a bug of some kind but the skin is red and now I m feeling some pain right underneath my earlobe area. I m not sure if it s getting infected somehow but I did put hydrogen peroxide on it a few times when it first started bothering me.
