It was really hard taking pictures of the back of my ear... but I got it done with a needle on both sides of my ears.I have been cleaning with sea salt, but lately there has been liquid coming out (yellowish crusties form too) and then my ears started to bleed a little bit. I was wondering if this was the beginning of a keloid or just a bump you get from cartilage piercings? I'm very new to all of this so any help is grateful!

Hey!
I have my ears pierced too! Its actually normal for when you first get them to hurt or bleed because your ears are just getting use to an earing being in your ear. I wouldn't worry too much! Just keep puttin on sea salt. I use Tea tree medicated oil which you can get in Thursday plantation.
Im not a doctor but I hope I helped!

I've never tried tree oil does it really help because
I got this bump kind of like a pimple I guess on
The back of my ear (cartilage) its almost been a month
And I just got it. Every time I touch it or move the earring around
It bleeds but not much if you know how to help that would be very
Helpful thanks.
