Hi, Thanks for query.
It seems that you might have chronic infection in your ear or impacted wax in the ears giving rise to chronic lymphadenitis behind the ear.
Skin rash recently appeared may not be any relation with this problem.
It is likely that you might got fungal infection on various parts of the body. and may require antifungal treatment orally and local antifungal application.
Consult dermatologist and get examined.
Ok and bye.
