I put my finger in my ear and i felt like a tiny nodule inside the ear . it has been there for a year . should i be concerned ?

May be not: If it has been a year without any further symptoms like enlarging, pain, changing consistency etc. Then it could be a benign bump. Show your doctor with your next visit.

Get it checked: Out by an ENT doctor (otolaryngologist). Any condition you might see anywhere else on skin may manifest in the ear canal (cysts, nodules). Rarer conditions such as skin cancer or benign tumors are also possible. Bony growths such as osteomas from the bony external auditory canal are also seen. Get it checked by a specialist.
