How do to get rid of weird lump on tragus piercing?

Hiya , I had my tragus pierced two months ago, everything was fine and I had no problems till two days ago when I woke up with a lump on the top of it. I did some researcha and thought it was a keloid but when I went to the doctors, she said she didnt no much about peircings and she decided to pop the lump then it wouldn’t stop bleeding. It swelled up after she poped it and now shes put me on antibiotics. the lumps still there but the top of it is just a scab. I seem to have a lump on the back on my piercing now too.. the doctor said its not infected but im best taking it out but I really dont want to. Any advice ?

Answer #1

I had the same problem, just keep cleaning it about two or thre times a day and make sure you turn it, it will go away as long as you keep it clean, you dont have to take it out, mine popped on its own and never came back.

Answer #2

I think your doctor is a complete freaking idiot. Thats a hard place to keep clean constantly, so you will get lumps…just do what Brandie suggested. Rubbing Alcohol will sting, but work wonders on the infection.
