Suggest Treatment For Scabs On Ear Lobe

Hi this morning I touched my right upper ear lobe and it hurt, I just thought it was sore as I slept with rollers in my hair the night before and they may have been pressing on my ear. Now I realize that in the fold of my ear there is a clear fluid and it has formed a scab. What can this be?

Hello

You may have developed an infection of your ear lobe , or it may be due to insect bite or an allergy to some chemical/stud. Please clean it with warm salt water and keep the area dry. You can apply some mupirocin ointment over the affected site , please dont worry , it will be fine.

Thanks
