What's the matter with a hard lump growing inside the ear hole?

A hard lump grows inside the ear, which is a phenomenon that many people are prone to after getting their ears pierced. This may be caused by inflammation, so you must pay attention to proper care of these parts to prevent infection.

1. There is usually a recovery process after piercing the ears. Generally speaking, it depends on the person's physical condition. Some people heal faster, and it also depends on the material of the ear holes. Remember to apply more alcohol to help the ear holes heal. So what should you do if pus comes out after ear piercing? What should you pay attention to when pus comes out of your ear piercing?

2. If it is a small hard lump growing inside the earlobe and not protruding above the skin surface, it can only be felt when you touch it lightly with your fingers. The feel is different from the soft touch of other parts of the earlobe. It is only a small lump that will appear during the wound healing process and will slowly disappear over time.

3. But if it grows externally, protrudes above the skin surface, and is obviously getting bigger, you should pay attention to it. It may be hyperplasia caused by scar constitution, which is a benign skin tumor. It may continue to proliferate and affect the appearance, so you should seek medical treatment in time.

4. But if your wounds in the past have healed well and you rarely get ugly and enlarged scars, then you probably don’t have a scar-prone physique. This small lump of flesh may be ordinary epidermal hyperplasia that happens to grow in this position, or it may just be a small pimple.

5. If your ear hole becomes inflamed and pus is coming out, do not go to crowded places or dusty places, such as construction sites, holiday cleaning, etc.; do not use earmuffs or earmuffs that have been worn by others to avoid aggravating the infection.

6. If you have friends who wear earrings, please do not wear earrings or other ear jewelry for the time being. Especially for people with sensitive constitutions who have allergic reactions to non-silver accessories, they should avoid stimulating the ears again, otherwise it will aggravate the inflammation and pus discharge of the ear holes.
