What Causes Painful Knot On Ear Lobe?
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic It is possible that the ear may be infected. You can consider cleaning the ear with an anti septic daily and apply topical antibiotics. The topical antibiotics should be available at your local pharmacy over the counter. You may want to consider the use of an oral anti inflammatory pain killer such as ibuprofen, naproxen, aspirin. If the symptoms worsen then you see your doctor I hope this helps
