I got my tragus pierced about a month ago.
It's awesome
Buttt...
there's a problem.

I hugged one of my friends weird and it kinda ripped and now there is a huge...
bubblebump...thing where it ripped.

I've gotten into a routine of cleaning it daily with salt water,
it seems to be helping.

but I just kinda want to know what the ******** is going on.

my guess is that it might be some scar tissue, or infection.
If you go to the Dr they should be able to give you some antibiotics that will help heal it

Since it's only a month old, It's prob. a combo of infection/scarring. or either one.

Clean it with salt water 3 times a day, And to reduce the scar tissue, Go to a drug store around you, and pick up some tea tree oil. Put the tea tree oil on after you clean the piercing. Don't drench it in the oil (too much of it will just cause more problems). Just put a little on a q-tip and rub the oil onto the area.

beware when you open the bottle too, tea tree oil has a VERY distinct, strong smell.
