Bumps on Cartilage, right o..

Okie so i have my cartilage piercing for around 2 months. I barely took out the earring today and I suddenly felt a bump right on the hole. It's not big or anything so I just decided to put my earring back in. But then my ear started turning red and irrated. and i also got my piercing done with a gun.

How do I get rid of the bump? I know it's not a keloid because its not that big, and theres no pus or anything. It just red.

Sorry if this has been asked before.

The exact same thing happened to me. I had my cartilage pierced for about 7 months then the earring fell out and I didnt realize it. When I did realize, the hole already started to close. When the hole was closed, there was a small bump there. So I cleaned it with some rubbing alcohol and left it alone. It's been a while and my ear feels normal again. So just clean it and wait it out. It should go away. I dont have a bump or any mark. Good luck!

i would take out the earring, put alcohol on the peircing, and wear a hoop for a few days to let it get some air. the hoop lets the air get to the peircing better than a stud and the alcohol will make it feel better from being irritated. i've got nine earrings so thats what i've done maybe it will help ya.

make a mixture of sea salt (without iodide at grocery stores) and hot water. Mix about 1/2 tsp salt with 1/2 cup water. Let dissolve. Dip qtip in liquid and clean the area, making sure to try to get liquid in hole. Do this on both sides of piercing. I would leave the jewelry in unless it gets worse. In which case, I would see a piercing specialist.
