Suggest Remedy For Bumps In Ear

I HAVE HAD A REOCCURING BUMP NOT PAINFUL BUT FILLS UP WITH A THICK WHITE DRYISH STUFF THAT STINKS LIKE BAD FEET OR SIMILAR TO THE STUFF THAT COMES OUT OF PIERCED EAR HOLES WHEN INSERTING AN EARRING. NO MATTER HOW MUCH I SQUEEZE OUT IT FILLS UP AGAIN. RECENTLY IT CLOSED UP AND I REOPPENED IT AND LITTERALY DUG THE STUFF OUT. NOW IT JUST FILLS WITH A FLUID THAT SMELLS LIKE A STRONG BUTTER SMELL. IS THIS SOMETHING I SHOULD SEE A DOCTOR FOR? THERE IS NO PAIN OR REDNESS AND REALLY ITS JUST A NUMB AREA FROM SO MUCH SQUEEZING IN THE PAST.
