I've noticed a slightly painful lump right under my right ear, near the tragus, and it gets worse when I touch it. What could this be, and what should I do about it?

I've accidentally ruptured my eardrum while using a q-tip and I've attached a photo for you to see. There's no pain but I do feel some pressure in my ear. Should I be worried about this? How does an injury like this heal?

I've been dealing with some really bad ear pain for the last three days, and it's only in my left ear. It's so painful that I can't even eat anything. It feels like there's something stuck in there, but when I try to put my finger in to check, it just hurts too much. What could be going on with my ear, and should I be worried about this?
