the bump ont he back of your ear is normal. I have one too... it is fine.. my ear hurts and I got mine done professionally and it is not infected.

The lump you got is scar tissue. I am Assuming that you had the cartilage pierced with a Piercing gun which is not the proper way to pierce cartilage. All piercings of this sort must be done with a gauged needle to remove the piece of tissue which the earring will then fill the space. My advice is to remove the piercing and go to a tattoo shop and have a professional piercer do it for you.

nope, its not scar tissue
scar tissue happens when you get something re-peirced or taken out, it will be harder to peirce next time because of the scar tissue
it sounds normal though
it could be a keloid as ^ says, also an infection but it will probably heal itself
its also likely to have happened if you got it peirced with a gun
peircing guns are the most rediculouse things and should be banned
there full of germs, are wiped down to be cleaned
have probably peirced 10 other peoples ears in one day alone
not to mention the people with them have no training!
so if it was...remember next time
if they pull out the gun walk straight out of there!!

well im not really sure what to say but first for me I have had one for about 2 or 3 years im only twelve years old but for me I dont know what it is im not sure if I have a diease or scar tissue because I got my done at clares with a gun and now all of a sudden it starts geting bigger beacause also when I get scars it gets wirdly bumpy even just a scatch it will turn into a scar im supposed to have it checked by a docter soon it might be really important so my advice to you is have it checked by a docter as soon aas you can and remeber it might be something or it might be nothig.

DONT TAKE IT OUT IT WILL BE FINE. the pain goes away and you take out the earring when its time and stick a pin in the bump squeeze it put the earring back in and it will be fine I got mine done the same thing happened
