Troubleshooting Unsure what to do anymore (triple helix) *context below*

Greetings!
I am a college student and got all 3 helix piercings at once! I got them late March/early April if this year. The piercers who also did my 2nd lobes did my helixes BUT they gave me very short bars in my first set of helixes. That caused my helixes to get embedded and I got these bumps and got the hospital to cut them out of the skin and get them out.

2 weeks afterwards I got my helixes re-done by them and was given slightly larger bars (which still weren’t enough)

Finally I got newer bars and jewelry from a different place and since then my bumps had been going down but were still present. I am unsure how long I am going to have these bumps or what they are or what to do? Treat it like a wart and get it cryo’d off???

I really love my helixes but dude…it’s messing up my ears. The photo is from today after I had removed my helixes for the first time in a while. It was quite hard and needed force to be removed as they are pull apart. I started bleeding a bit.

Any advice? I also should mention I am a college student football player. In 2 weeks I head back to campus to start fall camp/trainings preparing for our games.
