What Are The Bumps On My Ears?

I have 14 g gauges and when I first got them they were fine. Then I ended up losing on of my plugs and I changed them to my tapers (Which was a bad idea) . After about a week I noticed my ears had tiny little bumps or pimples on them. At first I didn't really do anything but then they got worse and they itch like crazy !! I can't take my right one out because it won't move . I do sea salt soaks but they don't help at all . The bumps have gone to my face and the sides of my face and neck itch too. I can't take this anymore it's so irritating !! I need help ASAP !!

Hello

Welcome in H.C.M.

I have gone through your query regarding small bumps on ear lobule and extending upto face and side of neck, all these develop after wearing tops in both ears. these bumps are itching much.

Your clinical history points towards sensitivity of your skin for metal of ear topes. These all developed after wearing new ornament and there is too much itching all these favours for sensitivity for metal of ornament.

Other rare possibilty is of Keloid but in keloid usually itching is absent. To get relief you may use steroidal ointment.

Regards.
