Are you ears pierced? Have you recently pierced them or recently allowed them to close? It could be an infection from the piercing.

Ok, when you said earlobe it threw me off. The lobe refers to the bottom fleshy part of the ear. Since it is in another area, I suspect it may be a pimple. If you apply a warm compress to it, it should come to a head. After you pop it the pain should go away.

No problem. I hope it goes away soon. I know acne can be extermely painful when it occurs on or in the ears.
