I got my Tragus pierced back in October of this year. For about 3 weeks it was a little swollen and tender to the touch with a slight reddish hue.
But that all went away about 2 months ago. Now for the past 3 weeks or so I've had this slightly raised lump directly above yet connected to the piercing (nothing on the reverse side). It isn't sore or tender to the touch, not squishy as if it were filled with fluid yet not rock hard. I havn't noticed any secretion of any kind. I have read that infections are usually bright red, swollen, tender, and often times accompanied by secretion.
I normally wash it 2 times daily with a softsoap/dial as well as a non-iodized salt soak in hopes of draining any fluid caught in the bump before I go to bed. Everything seems in order yet 3 weeks later I still have this bump, so I really don't know what it is nor how to remedy it Maybe trauma while sleeping and if thats the case, I can't do much about it?
Thanks in advance :)
