Oh trust me you would know!. Your ear would be really pussy and a lump would form!. And it hurts really bad!. Just make sure u clean your ear really good wit alcohol to avoid this problem!. It happened to me before!. Yuck! The lump will be permanent! It won't be as big as it was when it first comes up but there will always be a lil lump or something there!. At least that's how mine is, and some other people I know!.

Hope this helps!Www@Answer-Health@Com

If it gets infected , you probably dont want to take it out, because then the hole will get sealed up and the infection will be inside!. atleast with the hole there, it can drain as you clean it!. Most new piercings will get crusty things around it, but thats just part of healing!. Just clean it twice a day and you will be fine!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
