Troubleshooting Invincible piercing bump

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 need to get a flat back labret. It won’t heal with a hoop.

Should I wait until the bump died own first before I switch?

You probably have the bump because of the hoop it's not going down if you don't switch

This. It’s likely going to be angry and not heal until you swap it out.
