I Have A Problem In My Left Ear. What Is It And What Should I Do ?
I have recently began gauging my ears. My right ear gives me no problems, but my left does. I waited until I had no pain in my left ear before gauging another size. I just found a small, flight bump on the back of my left lobe , near the piercing. It is also slightly swollen, less than yesterday, but still a bit noticable. What is it and what should I do?

hi! welcome to Health Care Magic Forum,
Its not very clear from your letter what you have(kindly elaborate what you have) ,but I have a feeling that you are developing a keloid behind you ear at piercing site.Ands its hurting you also.What you need there is an inj of steroid directly on the lesion that will suppress the lesion .
