I got my tragus pierced around the month of October. All was going well until about a week, I guess, after it was pierced. I started to see this bump on my ear right by the earring, it did not hurt unless I messed with it and has not made the new hole not heal or anything. I can pop it and blood and clear fluid(sometimes sticky)comes out. It will scab over, go away, then come back. I have researched keloids on the net but everyone I see is a big nasty thing, mine isn’t like that. I had wondered if I may have got it from cleaning it too much with the contact solution. So what do you think? Should I see a doctor or maybe go back to the place I had it pierced to let them look at it? Or do I need to worry about it at all. It is very small and not hard

it sounds like a keloid. keloids actually start off as "bubbles." i had one on my industrial that i popped with a pin & liquid came out of it. try putting 100% tea tree oil on it a few times a day. it's the only thing that has helped me. but you should always consult your piercer at the 1st sign of any problems bc they can actually look at it & decide the best course of action to fix it

It could be a pus pocket. I think that keloids are just scar tissue and don't have any drainage (although I am not sure.) I would go and show who ever pierced you. They will more than likely be able to tell you what is going on and what you need to do.

it's hard to tell what the problem is without seeing the piercing. i would pay a visit to the person who pierced you and have them take a look at it. it may be something as simple as being allergic to the material of your jewelry or some other form of irritation. but like i said, it's really hard to say without looking.

i think you should go back to the place you had it done and let them look at it.......it may possibly be nothing at all.....and if you do not like their answer then i would go see a dermatologist and get a second opinion.

NO GIRL YOU NEED TO GO SEE A DOCTOR THEY KNOW MORE ABOUT THAT STUFF THEN THE PEOPLE THAT PIERCE IT
