Ear lesion: It can be a fungal infection, herpetic rash, seborrheic keratitis, actinic keratitis, basal cell carcinoma, wart etc to mention few possibilities. It is important to see it and get more history about it.

Bruise: It is common to find a bruise on the earlobe and yet not remember the injury or pressure that caused it. This becomes more common with age and with the use of Aspirin and other anticoagulants.

Rash : would also check for lyme as it can appear as ear rash and have significant consequences if not treated .
