It is entirely possible it is a tumor, then again it could be an absess or something else, you should take your hamster to the vet, only vets can determine what the issue is and how to go about treating it.

OMG, Kiba had like the same thing, except I didn't see any blood vessels... But is this what it looked like (in her left ear):

If so, than it's an ear wart. It can be removed by a vet, but I left it alone on Kiba and it turned black and fell out. Then it regrew back a little bit, but it didn't cause her any pain.

Oh yeah, Kiba's didn't look like that. Kiba's was pink and more rough looking. This is like purple and smooth. I don't know what it is, but take your hamster to the vet ASAP!

it could be a blood clot in the ear, which basically is a tumor. A vet should be seen immediately.
