What wrong with my ear piercing?

Question

i got a tragus piercing a few weeks ago. i laso got a rook and conch at the same time.. those peiercing are both okay but my tragus has a small lump around it. the lump is red and looks a bit like a blood blister. is it infected or something else?

Answer 1

I have one too.  I got mine pierced in October last year and i've never had any problems with it. It isn't infected, don't worry.  They just tend to come every now and again with cartilage piercings.  I have been putting savlon on mine and it is going down, just make sure you keep cleaning it twice a day with sea salt soaks.

Answer 2

It's the bump.  It's a pretty infamous occurance with the tragus piercing.  I have one on mine right now.  It's kind of swollen and looks a lot like a blister, but it doesn't hurt.  Apparently it's supposed to go away, but I'm thinking about contacting my piercer about it just in case.  You should probably do that as well.
