4 month old Helix piercing bump refuses to go away
Post Body

Got my helix pireced 4 months ago and about 1 month in a small bump formed on the front of my ear near the pircing and a bum formed on the backnabout 2 weeks after that. Jewelry is a horseshoe, I think stainless steel, I cant remember. My piercing is mostly painless at this point. I dont get much if any discharge or crusties from my ear anymore but the bumps persist no matter what i do. They get inflamed and sensitive from time to time but when any momentary irritation is settled, it always subsides to the same size bump. Ive taken care of it being sure to clean at least twice a day. I introduced Dr. Bronners tea tree oil soap which is my regualr soap for showering but it didnt seem to help. Along with my sea salt soaks, the soap just dryed out the bump and caused it to peel efforlessly with my soaks loosening the peeling skin essentually doing nothing. The bump is more like a blister. Switched from homemade soaks to using a spray this week I've been experincing some bleeding on the outside of this bump (not sure of the cause.) The actual hole has no blood and minimal discharge if any

Im sorry the post is a mess but im at a loss.. idk what to do to help it. It's almost certainly infected it seems. Please help me!
