Sounds like: an infection. Have your doctor take a look at it. You might need to be taking antibiotics.

Likely Shingles: Shingles is an infection by the herpes zoster virus, which also causes chicken pox. This condition begins with a red and very painful rash. Blisters may accompany it on your outer ear, ear canal, eardrum, mouth and neck. These blisters may ooze and exude a watery discharge. It has a risk of involving your ear drum and facial nerve. See your doctor to ensure there are no lesions inside your ear.
