I've had my tragus pierced two weeks now and I have what I believe to be a hypertrophic scar on it. It's just a small reddish lump on my piercing and isn't seeping or anything like that, so I don't think it's infected. Also, it didn't hurt so I've slept on it, which, looking back, may be my problem. I've been following my piercer's directions. Which are as follows:
Mix one pinch of sea salt with 8 oz. of warm water. (I use purified h20)
Then use a clean dry q-tip to dab one drop on the front and back of the piercing.
Do this 4-5 times a day.
Will it go away with time or will I need to use tea tree oil or something like that?
What should I do?
