You seem to have developed dermatitis or eczema of the ear lobule. It may be secondary to allergic reactions to ear stud. If you are using ear stud then you need to remove the ear stud and apply antifungal steroid creams to reduce the eczema
Next Steps
Consult nearby Dermatologist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
