Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Read and understood your history of red and swollen ear lobe, also has a tender spot on it.
The most probable diagnosis as you have correctly mentioned is some sort of insect bite or so.
Get a proper dose of an antihistamine and oral steroids as this site is notorious for development of complications like seroma formation and so on.
