I've been at 6mm for about 2 months and I've noticed that my right ear started swelling and that there's a weird bump on the lobe self and I've also started feeling discomfort in the hole. Does anyone know what this could be? And how I can get rid of it because my ears are super swollen and sore. :?:

What kind of jewelry are you wearing? How did the initial stretch go? Lumps are usually blowouts or scar tissue. It is possible to get cysts or pimples in your ears too but with the swelling and soreness I'd say a problem with the stretch is more likely
I'm Lindsay.
I have 1/2" lobes and 11 piercings: left helix x2, both conches, both nostrils, septum, navel, and VCH.
My lobes are small but I know a lot about stretching and how to do it safely, so message me if you have any questions!

I'm wearing internally threaded steel tunnels and I had no pain with the stretch. I did a SSS last night and an oil massage. And it looks like the lump is a bit smaller today
