I got my cartilidge pierced in spring. It hurt for a while then stopped. In august it was hurting again and was on and off until finally I saw some crust around it and it was pussing. It was either clear or yellow I can't remember. Then my mom told me to take it out. There was some scar tissue there is big and round like my diamond that was in it earlier. It wasn't hurting after that for two days but not it is very unbearable. Is this the piercing just healing or something else? If so/or not what can I do other than go get it checked out by a doctor?

could be something called a keloid, it is an over growth of scar tissue. go get it checked by a doctor.

If I were you, I'd just head straight to the doctor. It sounds like the sort of thing that you can't get off the shelf stuff for. I've waited for stuff to pass too many times and wished I'd gone to the doctor sooner. Hope you get it sorted :)
