Suggest Treatment For Lumps In Ear

Okay so I have stretched ears, and I have been at a 2g for 4 months almost 5 on my right lobe. And on my left lobe I ve been at a 2g for 3-4 months, because about four months ago I got an infection, because I dropped my jewelry down the the sink while cleaning my ear and didn t have another 2g tunnel, so I put what I though was a metal pen cap in my ear and really didn t not want to downsize, so after it got really bad, I just downsized to a 4 and it got better. After I stretched back up to a two, for about 2 months my ears were doing great, and then I got a hard small lump in the ear that was infected prior to that. And after cleaning it more, (I don t clean it very often, because my ears get dry) so it went away completely for about a week, but then it came back after about a week, and every since then its been there and it hasn t left. I am not sure if it is scar tissue or a cyst and I know its not a keloid because before it left completely so I m not sure what it is and I could ve been at a double zero by now but I m still stuck at a two. I have tried olive oil massages and sometimes massage them with coconut oil I really don t know. Oh and it doesn t hurt at all I can squeeze it and it won t hurt. And no weird liquids have come out either and its just inside my lobe its not on the back or front. Please I need feedback!! I m getting really impatient!!

Hi,

Dermatological conditions are hard to diagnose without seeing them. Residual infection is the worst and can ruin that part of the ear if not treated. Scar tissue is going to stretch 'funny' and also ruin the effect. A lymph node can be worked around. A cyst I have no idea about. It could just be inert and not bother anything or it could grow (mine DID, but it was on a very different spot) or it might weaken the area.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Matt Wachsman, Addiction Medicine Specialist
