I have a red spot on my right earlobe around the piercing and down. Doesnt go underneath the lobe but there is a small red spot on the back. Little warm to feel, little swollen, yet doesnt hurt. Has alittle numb feeling. I havent worn earrings in over a year. Iam 47yrs old, 5'41/2", 107lbs, the spot has been there almost 2 months now.

Hello and welcome to health care magic,
Any spot should be examined however benign it looks. You need to ideally get a biopsy done so that you can be at peace of mind.
You can get back to me on the details or consult any ENT as soon as possible. It is a simple procedure done under local anesthesia and for most of the lesions it is definitive.
