What you have sounds like a keloid,which is just an overgrowth of scar tissue, which is normal after a piercing in the cartilage. I have an industrial and had keloids form after i got the piercing. What I used to get rid of it was a spray called H2Ocean which you can get at any piercing/tattoo parlor. It's purified salt water, which helps to heal the cartilage that was broken after the piercing. If that doesn't help with the pain and swelling in at least a week I would definetly get it checked to make sure that an infection doesn't start.

mine did that too and ive had mine for over 3 years now and sometimes it still hurts to touch it!!it might be infected so get a q-tip and that cleaning solution stuff they give you and clean your ear and the earring really good!

Yep, it's infected, but I don't know any products that can help it. Just go to a drugstore or doctor and ask them, they're proffessionals.
