Hi,

You may be right about something like pimple growing in your ear, but it is Folliculitis not a pimple, and that's why you have pain and feeling of warmth. You can apply Neosporin H ointment over the area, it should disappear and pain free in 2 - 3 days, if not you will need a proper antibiotic course for the same.
Some important things are keep the area dry and try not to touch it with anything except when applying the ointment.
