    Is your piercing infected? Or are you possible allergic to the metal in your ear? That could be why you have a bump.

    That's possible, my cartilage was done with a gun and I have a light lump too. I'm told there's puss in it, though, when I had the doctor look at mine, he said it was normal. But if it gets bigger to go back. I wouldn't be terribly worried unless it hurts.

    I've hear using the gun causes them... I think the only way to get rid of it is to get I cut off
