How do I remove a bump behind my ear from where it was pierced and the hole healed?

Question

I had my ear pierced 7 years ago and got a bump behind my ear where the hole healed. I was told by a body piercer to apply neosporin behind my ear and squeeze it 2 times a day... she said it would be gone in a month. If you had the same problem as me, how did you fix the bump?

* the neosporin thing sounds rediculous to me, but im trying it lol.

Answer 1

i used to have one when i let my ear close. it kind of just went away after a few months and i repierced it

Answer 2

hmmmmm im going to agree with the piercer who told you to use neosporin- because of the squeezing your going to do- use that for healing- when you squeeze you may get out some hard white stuff (smeg) then after its gone your bump will be gone.

Answer 3

It is probably just scar tissue, that happens with any piercing, I wouldn't mess with it. It will go away some with time, but no one is going to notice unless it's huge, and then I would recommend going to a doctor or dermatologist to have it removed.

Answer 4

in line with risk its the earring that youre allergic to. circulate to a expert piercer and tell them what your subject is and all i will declare cuz this handed off to me is that i replaced the earring to sterling silver cuz i had white gold and that i did no longer be attentive to that what my subject exchange into cuz my helix wasn't therapeutic and it exchange into sore try doing heat sea salt soaks a million/4th of a teaspoon of non-iodized sea salt to 8oz of warm water desire i helped e mail me in case you have extra questions!

Answer 5

i just re-pierced and left the earing in for a few month

Answer 6
