Outer ear pain cartilage

I have been having a pain in my left ear near the top of my outer cartilage. I have a slight bump but no cut. When I press it to try and see if I can get it to pop like a zit it just feels like it moves. I don't know if it's a zit or what else it could be.

Ear pain, 1 mo, L side. Feels like cartilage but not sore to touch. Put alcohol in last PM & it brought me to my knees with pain. No fever. I feel like my skin is hot, but temp is 97.1 (WNL for me). No drainage, redness or swelling. Only thing that alleviates the pain is if I pull on it a bit. Anti-inflammatory doesn't help.
