Alright, so I asked a question about this two weeks ago and got 3 totally different answers (it's a keloid, it's hypertrophic scarring, it's an infection). One of the 3 answers suggested Tea Tree Oil. I ran out to the pharmacy the next day and picked up a bottle. After 12 days the bump has decreased to 1/3 of the original height, yet the affected area's size hasn't changed (now its just a red area).
Another wierd development is that the skin on top of the "bump" seems to be peeling away daily. I don't know whether or not the Tea Tree Oil is drying my skin out, which is causing the peeling.
Anyways, I finally managed to get clear pictures of this "bump" with my digital camera. I hope someone knows what it is and what can be done to remedy the situation.
The link below shows the outer and inner surface of my tragus piercing with this bump.
