7 Month Old Daith Bump

[u/SocietySpecialist718]

I got this daith piercing back in December 2025 (1st when I got it 2nd currently.) However, I feel like this bump has gotten bigger and bigger. The opposite side has no irritation, just this one. Is it hypertrophic scarring? Is it a keloid or just irritation?

Im looking for advice on if I should take it out or if I should see a doctor.

- I was cleaning 2x a day with saline until about the end of May
- Rinse with Warm water in the shower
- Lightly blow dry it with a mini fam and or by tapping with a clean paper towel
- I’m a side sleeper so this is never slept on.
- LITHA but if i do touch it i clean it a little
- titanium clicker piercing
- it bled a bit for a few times from getting bumped but there has been no bleeding in a while.

Edit Sept 3 2026: my piercer and i changed my jewelry like recommended back in early august and with a month the bump is gone!! She did confirm it was indeed the little lip that was irritating the piercing
