Cartlige peircing problem?
My cartlige has had a bump next to it for a few weeks and recently its gotten bigger. I usually take my earing out with no problems but when i tool it out today to clean it i couldnt get ot back in through the front. I could only get it in through the whole in the back so now my earing is in backwards. When i was putting it in i saw in the mirror it coming out through the bump not next to it wher the whole usually is. When i got it through the bump it was bleeding alot and the skin that was on the top of the bump is hanging of and the bump is still kind of there. It doesnt hurt at all and i cleaned it but i dot know what to do.

the person who pierced it should tell you this is completely normal. the body reacts to foreign objects (such as earrings) and rejects it in its own little way, creating a bump. get some antiseptic wound spray on it morning and night. it will eventually go down. i know it looks nasty but you need to be patient. it'll eventually go down. also don't take it out again because putting the earring back in and through the bump encourages the wound to get even worse.
