What Does A Crusted Spot On Ear Indicate?

My ear lobe had what felt like a zit where the bottom of the ear meets the head. I squeezed at it and felt like something popped. It pusses a good amt. I woke up the next day with a crusted spot. It is now peeled. Do you know what this could be?? Could it be my eczema??

Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
Since you have popped and the pus had came out, it is a small abscess and not an eczema.
An eczema can ooze fluid, but never the pus.

I would advise you to consult a Doctor to have clinical evaluation and investigations and a proper treatment
I hope this answers helps you.
