I had a pimple on my earlobe and i popped it but it wasn't cleaned properly (probably).since then, i can feel a small hard ball in my earlobe when pinched from both sides. no new pimple has appeared there for months now. should i seek a doctor?

A cyst may develop after the pimple was popped. You can ignore it if there is no symptom and it will resolve in time. You can see your family doctor if you want it removed and it can be done easily with local anesthetic.
