Getting Bumps Near Ear Piercing Hole Since Many Years

I keep getting bumps near my ear piercing hole.I have had my ears pierced since I was a little baby. I am now 20 I am unsure for how long but I know this has been happening for years. I might get it on one ear and not the other or both at the same time. It not that visible but definitely can feel it and its hurts.

Hello

Welcome in H.C.M.

I have gone through your query regarding small bumps near hole of ear pierced.

Your problem is only because of recurrent infection and enlargement of lymph nodes of ear lobule.

Above situation is very common whenever the hole in ear lobule is oblique and this oblique direction always gives micro trauma to ear lobule and thus inflammation takes place.

You should investigate yourself for diabetes because some times diabetes also creates theses types of problems.

I hope your query is now answered.

Regards.
