A member asked:
I have a cyst on my earlobe and it is infected and it has been coming and going for over a year now and it has caused my earlobe to swell 2 or 3 times?

Sebaceous cyst: Cysts in the earlobe are often quite tender. They can get infected, then the pain is even worse. They are usually treated with antibiotics when acutely infected. But, when they "calm" down, removal is usually accomplished in the office. You should see an ENT md to see if it warrants removal at this time
