Hi, If you have history of trauma then it can be trauma induced inflammation and swelling. But if no history of trauma then otitis externa or superficial folliculitis infection can be possibility. Oral antibiotic course can be prescribed for that. Topical Bacitracin like ointment can be applied if needed. You can consult otorhinolaryngologist for examination.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
