Does Revel have an ear infection?

I was holding Revel when I noticed something green in his ear. Is it some kind of growth perhaps, common to newborns? Does Revel have an ear infection? Should I be on the phone with the pediatrician?

Here is an actual photo (ok, a simulation) of the offending mystery substance:

After further inspection, and removal, it was determined that the object was in fact a grain of green sugar that likely fell off of a Christmas sugar cookie during one of his Mother's 3am feedings. :)
