What should I do about this bump behind my ear?

I got my cartilage pierced for my b day last year and it left like a bump and its ugly and lots of people have it how can I get rid of it without doing something strange?

Answer #1

Sounds like a keloid. Unfortunately it’s scar tissue and there really isn’t anything you can do about it. In severe cases, or if it is causing you pain, it can be treated with laser removal or injected with cortisone if it’s really itchy. Like you said, they’re very common and a lot of people with piercings in their ear cartilage have them with no pain or discomfort. Don’t worry about it.
