What Could Be The Reason For Having A Lump On My Ear?
Hello, I have an issue concerning what appears to be a bruise on the bottom of my ear. A few days prior I had felt a small lump underneath the hole of where my piercing is (had the piercing itself for six years) and this evening noticed a bruise this evening. I was curious to know if it had been caused with my persistent fiddling to pop the acne beforehand or if the lump wasn t actually what it appeared.

Hi. It appears that your fiddling has activated the infection in a pre-existing dormant infection to form a lump. Apply spirit / Betadine liquid , wait and watch, If infection go for a small course of an antibiotic. Usually heals on its own.
