I got both my tragus' pierced about a month ago, and for the past like 2 weeks I've noticed a bump on both of them. They're sometimes red too. I'm not sure if they're keloids or not, but do you think they are? I doubt they're infected since there's no bleeding or questionable pus.
I accidently hit them all the time though and it just pisses me off. D:
Do you think that could be why I have bumps on my piercings?

Any responses would be great, thanks. gonk

Pictures are helpful... But, a lot of people get keloids on their cartilage. No biggie. Just pick up some Tea Tree oil and apply it 2 times a day, after using Dial antibacterial to clean it. I would need pics to know if that is what they are... so don't get mad at me if that does not work. But the oil will also heal speed up healing to, so it is not a bad idea to try it.

Thanks for your response kitty.

I'd take a picture except my camera sucks. ):
Taking a picture close-up or in zoom just gets blurry. You can just see that it's red.
Sorry 'bout that.

But thanks for suggesting tea tree oil, I think I read that on sites and stuff too.

And don't worry, I won't get mad at you. heart

Should I rinse my ears after applying the tea tree oil? Or do I leave it on?

No, keep it on. Clean before applying and leave it on.

Alright, just came back from getting some. xD

Thanks so much for your help!

EDIT: Do I dilute it or anything? Or just straight up put it on my piercing/bump?
