Dunno but my mum has the same thing (Is that you Mum? Smile)

I've ordered her to the GP as it's not going - she's had it for over three weeks, might be an infection that's in need of anti-bs to clear it

Stange one! Isn't the smae thing my mums ear is swollen and feels hot

Wonder if yours a burst blood vessel (though how is the question), which would make it look like a love bite!

I have that when I sleep on my hear bend or with my fist on it. It fades after a few days. If not and hot go see a GP.
