Question

[*Green-Eyes*]

I've got a small lump appear on the back of my piercing and its really sore. this isint the first time its happened to this perticualr piercing. before i resolved the problem by simply poppin it.. which hurt alot and bled. any ideas to what it might be and how i get rid of it for good. it looks horrible

[slightshadow]

Maybe the lump is kind of like a pimple or something. Ear rings can cause a build up of dead skin and oil in and around your ear lobe. Other than keeping your ear clean, i don't know of any other advice to give you.
*sorry*
good luck though!

often those kind of things will come and go, when healing or if the piercing has been knocked, sometimes it just does it! It's a bit of scar tissue, the best thing to do is go back to 'babying' the piercing like a new one, with weak, hot salt soaks twice a day but nothing else and it should eventually go, but be patient and try not to touch it a lot.

thanks. its alright now

[patooosh]

where's the piercing?

btw. you can really get those bumps by cleaning too much. i swear it too you. salt water is obe of the worst things. once a day is fine. and only for the first few days. I know you think i might be crzy.. but seriously cleaning too much can cause those bumps. or keloids. that's what they are called

good luck
