What are these bumps formed next to my piercing?

I’ve had my tragus pierced for over 6 weeks now. After a week, I noticed small blister-like bumps forming right near the jewellery, both entry and exit points. They’ve only recently grown bigger and are incredibly itchy. My piercing isn’t bleeding and I don’t think it’s infected, but I really want to get rid of these “blisters”. I don’t want to take the piercing out. :(

Answer #1

I’ve been cleaning mine with rock salt solution and diluted tea tree oil for 2 weeks and they’ve only seemed to become bigger. But I’ll keep cleaning and wait and see. Thank you! :)

Answer #2

they are called hypotrophic scars . the easiest way to get rid of them is to change the type of jewelry (ring to bar or vice versa) if that still doesnt work try tee tree oil for two weeks 3-4 times a day last but not least a chamomile tea teabag compress make the tea normally with bottled water and save the teabag to use as a compress 10 min 5 times daily hope this helps

Answer #3

I have the same problem. I got my tragus pierced a little less than 2 months now and I have those same bumps too. they’re called keloids. its not infected, because if it was it would hurt. they are from scarring. I had them on my tragus and I kept cleaning it and it went away but it came back again. just keep up on the cleaning. I’ve used sea salt. but everyday I just clean it with saline solution. best of luck.
