lmc11

so last wednesday igot a scaffold done on my right ear..theres a bar going straight through it,it was extremely painful bt is feeling better now,although it is itchy at times,also a lumop has formed on the outside of the lower hole,igot it done in navan bt was in snakebite today n the guy had look at it for me n was none to impressed sid it was a little of position n not to use the solution iwas told to use by them..he said it had a 50/50 chance now i myself think it looks pretty cool bt am worried now any help would be appreciated..:)

Do you've any pictures of it? Hard to tell really without a picture. Seems that lump could be one of two things though *i think*:
Keloid or Hypertrophic Scarring.

What have you been cleaning it with? Was it a reputable piercer?

from the pic it looks like its under pressure i.e the bar is too short, you can see it yourself, the back of the ear is crumpled in... to releive the pressure maybe buy to circular barbells and put them into each piercing, will reeive the pressure on your ear and once its healed you can pop back in the long barbell??
just a suggestion

it looks a bit tight like the bar is too short,Do salt soaks once or twice a day it should really help

too be honest the thought of goin back n gettn the bar taken out n 2 hoops put in icouldnt go through wit it,ipushed the top of the bar down a little the other night and THE PAIN all that nite n d nxt day..dnt no wat to do its nt hurtn me now bt idnt want to move it anymore hopefully it wont permanently disfigure the bottom of my ear..oh and il try soakin it in salty water..tanks..
