May B from insect: Bite/sting but should see fp/ent to make certain cartilage in ear isn't infected or that swelling & pain not due to other problem (like injury that can cause cauliflower ear).

It is possible : You may have a pustular rash, reacting from an insect bite causing it to be sore and swollen. If it is minor, you can apply topical antibiotic ointment and take some Motrin for pain. If big, you need oral antibiotics. Go see your doctor.
