Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of irritating pimple inside the base of ear which is due to recurrent ear infection. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper diagnosis. Doctor may examine by otoscopic to check level of infection. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics amoxicillin or penicillin at least for 10 days along with decongestant and anti inflammatory. Avoid touching or pricking with any sharp object. Apply warm compresses externally.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
