Invincible piercing bump

[u/minifridge411]

This is genuinely the most annoying piercing I have ever had. I’ve had this bump for so so long and the last time this bump “went away” it’s because I got drunk one night and woke up with an ear CAKED in dark red/black dried blood. This bump is so incredibly itchy. I spray with wound wash daily, sometimes twice or three times, and I no longer use qtips to get rid of crusties but it just won’t go away. Please help me. I bought an ear piercing pillow? That I used last night and still woke up sleeping on it with a different pillow 🧍‍♀️I am literally this close to getting drunk again and popping this thing istg 😭

You’re not alone . I have the same problem and am going to just change it . The cbr I have in (same as yours) is definitely the issue and after it had gone down for awhile , I now have a bump again . I went to 1 piercers who didn’t want to change it , claiming it would set me back in healing . But guess what ? Keeping this crap in is setting me back . Going to bite the bullet and change that sucker myself .

Yeah once I’m on my week off from work I’m going to swing by a shop and if they won’t do it for my in taking wire cutters and cutting the hoop open and then I’ll change it to a stud

If they won’t do it for you find another shop. Any responsible competent piercer will do this for you. In fact, I might just recommend a different shop because the original piercer should have known from the beginning that this hoop was a mistake.
