I got a pimple inside my earlobe. i've been applying aloe vera w/a qtip is that ok? its sensitive even when i touch the tragus. what else could i do?

See a doctor: This could be more than a pimple if you are that tender. Rec to apply a warm compress a few times daily. Aloe will not help. If it is very red, swollen or tender, consider seeing a doctor. Could also try over the counter antibiotic ointment.
