I have an industruial piercing in my ear and now at one of the holes there is a small red bump. It doesn't hurt, its just like a hard ball but it sticks out. I was told that it was scar tissue build-up, but I was wondering is there any other way I can get rid of it, without surgery?

I've been reading a lot about castor oil lately, mostly for pain, but one of the things people said it does is loosen scar tissue build up. I thought it was interesting enough to mention.

I did a quick search and found this page with lots of alternative remedies.
