What Is The Treatment For A Lump In The Earlobe?

I had a lump in my earlobe for about 6 months. Today it looked as though it was a zit. i popped it. When I squeezed it, it continued to pop and a lot of white gunk came out. I squeezed and then a sticky vein looking thing came out from the hole. Its appears to be stuck... is this a vein?
