I saw my doctor and I asked him to check out those ugly bumps on my tragus piercings and he said they were cysts. He told me to go see a plastic surgeon to get them removed and that I'd have to take my piercings out as well. And if I didn't do that they'd get bigger and I'd have to get radiation pins put in.

But I really don't want to take my tragus piercings out. I was thinking of changing the jewelry to a straight barbel/labret because I have a CBR in.

What should I do? I'm desperate, please!

Try the barbell and see if it helps, i've found that they are easier on the piercing.

Its a friction cyst. Try this.

Buy some aspirin, non coated, just plain ordinary aspirin. Take a few, mix it in to a powder and mix water with it so its about the consistency of toothpaste. Put the mixture onto the entire piercing, once a day, for four days.

After that, replace your jewelry with a more appropriate piece of jewelry. (CBRs are fine, just make sure it's not too big)

Hope that helps.

Thanks guys!

Do I leave the aspirin mixture all day or for like 10 minutes and then rinse it off?
