I've had a bump on my earlobe for a few weeks and now it's turning blueish in color and has dry skin around it. what could it be?

Probably an: infected sebaceous cyst, partially draining. Show it to your doctor so he can drain it or treat with antibiotics. It does not sound like a life threatening problem now.
