After having my ears pierced for a while, I found a lump inside. What is going on? Can it be removed?

The lumps in the ears after piercing may be caused by inflammation. You can take oral anti-inflammatory drugs for treatment. You must pay attention to the cleanliness of the ears at ordinary times, maintain local hygiene, do not touch the ears with your hands to avoid infection, and eat a light diet and do not eat spicy and irritating foods.

After getting your ears pierced, there is a lump in your ear. This is usually a local scar formed after the piercing heals. Some people with scar-prone constitutions are particularly prone to it; and some people's keloids can grow very large; even clinically, some can grow into lumps the size of a ping-pong ball. Some scar tissues will gradually become smaller and softer over time; some are indeed difficult to eliminate and continue to grow. For example, people with large scars mentioned above need to undergo surgery again to remove the lump before it can be eliminated.

The main consideration is that the capillaries are broken when the ear is pierced, and the blood flows to the area around the ear hole, causing local bruises. Safflower oil can be applied to promote the dissipation of bruises. Or infrared therapy can be used.

If pus comes out from ear piercing, first remove the earrings, then clean with hydrogen peroxide, and then apply antibiotic ointment. Generally, it will get better in about a week. If it does not get better after the above treatment, it is recommended to go to the hospital for otolaryngology and head and neck surgery. Local disinfection can be performed with iodine tincture or alcohol disinfectants. If an abscess is formed around the ear hole, first cut the abscess open to drain the pus, then clean with hydrogen peroxide, change the dressing every day until it is completely healed, and take antibiotics orally at the same time.
