Ear Canal Abscess

Procedure: Anesthesia: local infiltrate; Local anesthetic: lidocaine 1% eithout epinephrine; Incision type: needle aspiration; Drainage: bloody; Drainage amount: scant; Packing material: 1/2 inch gauze.

Would the CPT for this be 69020 or another CPT. Questioning this because no blade was used, but needle was used?

Thank you for any help.
