What is this bump I have above my tragus piercing?!?


4 weeks ago i got my tragus pierced...this past saturday I noticed a purpleish small bump on the top part of the front hole. I paniced and went to see my piercer and he told me i had a small keloid and to wash with a sea salt solution and it will get smaller. My knowledge of keloids is that they dont get smaller so was he telling me i had some hypertrophic scarring? Its been less than a week and i've been making my solution and then gave up and went and bought h2ocean whichmy piercer said would help a lot. All my friends say im freaking out about nothing and it looks fine..but here are a few links to pictures of my bump *blurry* but its something!

PLEASE SOMEONE HELP!!!

The piercer said i must have snagged it on something...i did pull the ring upwards while cleaning cause i thought that was a good idea...so i am hoping that is the case...

It is not a keliod, its hypertrophic scarring. I also had this on the surface of my tragus piercing and also underneath and on top of my nose piercing a few times. Usually the fade away in time, just apply warm sea salt water on it atleast 2-3 a day, you can also use the H2Ocean spray on it since this can help the healing also. You can also apply tea tree oil atleast once a day. Tea tree oil are sold at your local pharmacy, don't apply to much, the area might become dry but this is normal with tea tree oil. Good Luck.

For those who don't know and assume its a keliod (which is never good). A keliod is a type of scar which results in an overgrowth of tissue at the site of a healed skin injury. It's usually accompanied by severe itchiness, sharp pains, and changes in texture, http://www.visualdxhealth.com/images/dx/...

Hypertropic scars are raised scars that do not grow beyond the boundaries of the original wound and may reduce over time.

I had the same thing under my nose ring, all I had to do was leave it alone and not mess with it, but if that doesn't help visit a doctor. It might not be anything to worry about,but the doctor may have some other ideas about how to get rid or it.

It looks like a keloid to me. I have that on the back of my cartlidge pericings and I have one on my arm as well from something else. Just leave it be, they do sometimes shrink on their own.

I also had one on my nose ring, and mine also went away on its own after I stopped messing with it.

to the doctor!!
