I recently got my ears scapelled to a 00, and the piercer told me to turn them after I've cleaned them with saline solution. I some how get the feeling this is wrong...

I also have a lump on the back of one of my ears that seems to have gotten bigger over the past week. The ear is not infected, but the lump stays the same size. It's the same colour as my skin and doesn't hurt. I have no idea what it could be! I clean my ears about 3 times a day, now while trying to not move the jewelery.

I'm looking for any ideas on what this lump could be and how to get rid of it!

Don't clean them so much 2. Times a day max because if you do it too much you will ..... I forgot the word.... Mmmmmmm! Fuck! ........just don't clean them so much lol it's counter productive to the healing just like how you're not supposed to take a shower for like 2 weeks after you get a tattoo. Same idea. And idk about the lump. Just make sure it doesn't get any bigger and if it does go to a doctor it's ot cancer but there's a name for that too that I can't remember... Just trust me lol

Honestly, that sounds like a blow out to me. A blowout is basically when the back of your piercing actual comes out and forms a big bump type thing on the back of your ear. As far as I know there is only one way to deal with a blow out(depending on how bad), and that is actually plastic surgery or some kind of medical attention. Posting a picture would definitely help although that sounds a lot like a blow out to me.
