Bruise : This may have been caused by pressure on the ear lobe while sleeping which caused a small blood vessel to rupture causing the bruise and is of no consequence and will gradually disappear

Earlobe bruise: Tender Areas with less skin such as the ear lobe can often bruise, even with minimal trauma or if slept on in the same position for too long etc. Hopefully, in time this is a simple bruise, and it will go away, if it does not, then see you Doc. If you are taking Ibuprofen or aspirin etc, the bruising would stay longer as they increase bleeding risk.
