Not related: If the diagnosis of a middle ear infection is correct and that is the reason you have been placed on an antibiotics, the pimple/bump at the entrance of your ear canal is unrelated. Possible causes are insect bite, q-tip injury. There is no relationship between a middle ear infection and the pimple.
