Hi, Thank you for asking question on Chat Doctor. The pain i at the ear lobe may be due to wax in the external ear, celluliis of the external ear or mastitis. Better consult your doctor as it is difficult to say without seeing the patient. Hope this answer will serve your purposeless feel free to ask any more queries if requiredTake care Chat Doctor. V.
