Small cyst in earlobe popped under skin. earlobe has swollen, is slightly warm, but not too painful. should i wait to see what happens?

NO: Most likely you have infected cyst , if you get it drained ( I&D) you will get quicker relief from pain and less scar formation on your ear lobule , see your doctor also you may need Rx for antibiotics
