Hi I hadmy tragus pierced in June. It got infected, and I had to take antibotics for it. The infection went away, but it still keeps filling with blood and then bleeding . I have a little lump inside and one on the outside. I do not want to take the piercing out, what can I do to help the healing process and get rid of these lumps?
hello
Welcome ! I would be pleased to answer your question .
From your description of the lesion , it looks like you have developed a slight nodule ( hypertrophic scar ) or a Keloid at the site of piercing .
You will need to take an intralesional steroid from the Dermatologist .
