I've had my scaffold piercing 2 weeks now and everything seemed ok but today on the top ball I noticed a kind of crust or scab like thing that I had to clean off and puss came out of it. there's also a tiny lump on my ear...It doesn't hurt at all and it's not irritated I'm just concerned...Is it or could it be getting infected?Thanks in advance
Is the pus white? If so then everything you are experiencing is normal. If it's yellow, it might be the start of an infection. Either way, just continue to do sea salt soaks or saline soaks twice a day to clean it. The crusties are completely normal for healing, as is white discharge. I'd have the bump checked out by your piercer. It could be the start of hypertrophic scarring which is really common with industrial piercings. There's really no way any of us could tell you what it is.
