Sebaceous cyst. I have them in my earlobes, too. Don't let it get infected.
yeah, thats normal, not a huge deal, pop it, and then put peroxide or some drying agent on it
Stop gauging and let it heal! Stop picking at it. Leave it at the size it is, and clean regularly with a mild soap, like Provon. Sea salt soaks will help irritation. Between gauging, you should allow at least three months for healing.
