What Causes Ear Lobe Pain With Swelling?
my right ear lobe has a dull like pain that comes and go, is felt mostly inside and in the middle to lower ear lobe...I have had this before, about the one year ago. It lasted a few weeks last time I had. I got it again today. The inside of the ear ( the ridge ) appears somewhat swollen.... I am ok, otherwise... ?

Hello,
Ear lobe swelling may be due to folliculitis or eczema or chondritis or otitis externa etcetera. Until the examination, it is difficult to say what it is. Apply pressure, use antibiotics. If symptoms not improved, please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
