Suggest Treatment To Get Rid Of Bump On The Earlobe

Hi I have a bump on the back of my earlobe where I had an earpiercing. It feels almost like a small pea inside the ear. I had an earpiercing back in November 2011. It s a bit sore when I apply some pressure and I have changed the earring to a hoop to allow more air to get to it. I clean it regularly with the antiseptic provided by the piercer. Should I be concerned? How can I eliminate this bump?

in my opinion it is post piercing fibrous tissue deposition. you should need not to worry. if it pains, then avoid usiing metal or usual earrings. use gold/ platinum/ titanium made earrings, they are biocompatible, less like to cause inflammation. if u are worried for bump, you can get it removed anytime by an plastic surgeon or ENT specialist nearby.
