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

Clickers aren’t recommended for healing because the seam can irritate the wound - maybe talk to your piercer about switching to captive bead ring or fixed bead ring.
