Just above the lower ball there's a bump/lump on my ear, I got the piercing 5 days ago, I've been cleaning it properly, haven't been touching it, haven't been even sleeping on it. 2 days ago though my friend hugged me and her head knocked off my ear, it was really sore and bled for a bit and then this sore lump appeared, anyone know what's wrong and what to do? Or is it just part of the healing process
the lump is basically skin. it's called a keloid. you will get them quite a lot with your scaffold. i got mine done like 3 months ago and i got a small tiny one right now, it is a part of the healing process and it is caused by touching it; not physically touching it but clothes rubbing it. it's perfectly normal to get them. to get rid of it use tea tree oil, get a q-tip put it into warm water and put a drop or two of the oil on the tip and just gently tap it on your lump. after like few days you will see that it will become smaller. hope i helped (:
