    Bumps behind piercing
    I have a concern...
    I kept getting bumps behind my ear every time I had a cartillage piercing... now I have one on each ear. But I just got a new one(in february) and it hurt me when I put my head on the pillow, so I took it off about a month ago and I saw a small bump again, so I put it back on again:rolleyes: I don't know what 2do 2 make my bumps go away because they are kind of obvious... especially at school with my friends. What should I do?

    Have you tried icing it after you pierced it? Sounds like scar tissue resulting from the piercing. Maybe it wasn't pierced correctly, or your cartilage areas are sensitive. If there is pain, you should definitely see a dermatologist.

    No I haven't tried that!!
    It still hurts a little when I touch it; and my ears are pretty sensitive 2...
    But the other bumps don't hurt, it's just there and it boders me sometimes.

    It could be what is called "keloid"
