Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,
This small bumps over the entrance of ear canal could cystic acne or boil but needs to be inspected carefully to arrive at a certain diagnosis.
The ear pain might be due to this bump when you apply pressure on that.
You may require some blood works and clinical examination of the ear by specialist.
You should take treatment with antibiotics, analgesics,antihistamines and antacids available over the counter.
So it would be better you go to ENT specialist and get treatment.
