Brown hardened lump on back of earring?!


Question: Brown hardened lump on back of earring?
So, I just got my ears pierced like 5 weeks ago and yesterday I noticed there was a light brown hardened disfigured lump growing on the back of my hoop earring. It doesn't hurt. I don't know if I would call it a lump, it kinda looks like a terd, a lumpy terd if that helps at all. And from behind the lump where it touches my ear, it looks a little red. I have no idea what this thing is. Is it a cyst, a keloid, or a swollen lymph? Should I do anything about it or will it go away on its own? Thank you.

Answers:

I had the same thing happen. It sounds like you have a scab, especially if your ears were pierced with a piercing gun. Sometimes your piercing may bleed a little after you get them done. Just put a warm washcloth on it and get the scab off, and make sure you're cleaning it two or three times a day, and you'll be fine. :)
