I got my lobes pierced about a month ago and now there is this bump behind one. It's not too big but its right beside the peircing. It is skin colored not red, blue or purple. Sometimes when I squeeze it puss comes out sometimes not. I tried popping it with a very small needle but all I got was blood. I have been doing a lot of things latley and haven't had time to clean them. I think I went without cleaning them for four days but they looked good and looked like they were completwely healed then this happened. Will I have to take them out or can I just start cleaning them again and will it go away?

I wouldn't take out the earrings just yet. I am not an expert or anything. But I would the bump checked out by a professional. It may be a harmless cyst or mole forming behind your ear. A dermatologist may be able to give you some antibiotic or topical solution for the problem. You may want to go back to the place where you got them pierced as well. Good luck with your ears!

First of all, are you sure its pus? Because I have two holes in each ear and there is a little bump around each one. Its Just scar tissue. The liquid that is coming out of your ears is probably just normal lymph secretions. Try a quarter teaspoon sea salt mixed into a cup of water, and stick a cottan ball in it and soak your piercing in it. It will help get rid of those bumps and clean them out really good.

It sounds like they are infected.
Ive had it happen it really sucks.
The bump is fluid in your ear thats storing up,it usually goes away with time.
But I would go ahead and take out the earrings, and try again later.
Infections can be really bad, you dont want a deformed ear or anything!
So just take them out and let them close,wait like a month or so and try again.

Clean it and leave it alone. Stop messing with it and let it heal. Don't take the earing out or the infection could get trapped.

ahhh yes those bumps. its from pressure...like sleeping on it. talk to your local piercer, there is a cream you can buy at the pharmacy for it. i just stopped sleeping on mine and pinched the bump every now and then, 1 week n it was gone..
ps: clean it with sea salts mixed with water, peroxide and those other products will dry it out causing a longer healing time
