Is okay for there to be a bump under the skin right after you get a industrial piercing?
No. This is due to theprocedure of the piercing, needles can hang up once they pierce the cartilage and in doing so they can pull the pericondrial layer away from the cartilage thus leaving a lump. If the piercer spots this they can apply pressure to the tissue, this allows the pericondrial layer to reattach to the cartilage. New industrial piercings should if at all possible, not be moved for a few hours post piercing to allow the exit points to settle and reattach to the cartilage. Once a lump has formed at an exit point it's hard to get it to reattach to the cartilage if it's left too long.
Does getting your cartilage pierced hurt more with a needle or a gun?
You should never pierce your cartilage with guns. It will damage your body tissue and you will find a lump growing outside the piercing after a while. Guns are only safe for piercing the soft fleshy parts of your earlobes. Nowhere else. Safest is to go to a pro-piercing artist, he/she should use proper hollowed and sterilised or brand new needles to pierce. It doesn't hurt at all if the piercing is done professionally.
Would it help if you pit ice on your dimple piercing if you have a lump around it?
NO. It'd help if you went to a piercing shop and asked them what was wrong with your piercing. The lump around it could be a sac of infection.
How do I get rid of bumps next to cartilage piercings?
Well getting rid of the bumps involves understanding how they got there in the first place. If the piercing was done with a piercing gun, then there's your culprit. See ear cartilage piercings done with a piercing gun (which they are not supposed to do but they do it any way) damages the fine tissue* (*perichondrium ) between the cartilage and the back skin of the ear cartilage, this tearing action pulls the layer away from the cartilage and thus the lump is formed.Often referred to as Cauliflower Ear, this is the damage done to the ear cartilage when boxers would not wear protective head gear and the gloves would contact the ear cartilage skin tearing it free from the cartilage damaging the perichondrium in the process.Removing ear studs and replacing the studs with captive bead rings and irrigating the piercings daily during showering has allowed the tissue to settle and in some cases reattach to the cartilage, this can take several weeks to notice a marked change in the lumps.Another cause for lumps on ear cartilage is a process call a "Hypertrophic Reaction". This is where a irritant is introduced into the piercing causing the tissue to swell up and form a lump next to the piercing. Generally due to over use of a cleaning produce used to clean the piercing, the over use causes this reaction to occur. Simple flushing of the piercing with warm running water daily during showering while moving the jewellery has been very successful in removing the irritant and the bumps diminishing in size over several weeks.
Is it normal to have bump next to a closed tongue piercing?
No Having any form of lump or bump next to a closed piercing indicates there is some form of issue with the piercing. This also depends on how long the jewellery has been out of the piercing and how long you had the piercing before removing the jewellery. If you develop any pain or discomfort seek the assistance of your doctor.
If I have a bump on the back of your cartilage piercing and take out the stud will the bump disappear?
When I went back to my piercing place where I got my cartilage pierced, they told me the lump was due to me sleeping on the pierced ear. They told me from now on try not to sleep on that ear as the lump is due to the pressure of your earring pushing up against the skin. To get rid of a cartilage piercing bump: 1) All you have to do is buy some aspirin and then use one tablet and crush it (into eg a bowl). 2) Then add a tiny bit of cold water. 3) Then mix it together and it should turn into a sort of paiste. 4) Then apply this onto the cartilage bump, using a cotton bud or something. (but try not to get it on any other part of your skin). 5) Keep doing this once a day everyday until the bump dissapears. Mine took me three days to go.
What is this lump behind your ear you got them pierced at 14?
If the lump is on the back of the piercing, then it sounds like "cauliflower ear" this occurs when the tissue is damaged and not allowed to heal correctly. Most often seen in poorly done ear cartilage piercings and boxers who didn't wear ear protection. The skin is force fully removed from the underlying cartilage where plasma builds up to try to repair the damage, this plasma forms a lump to attempt to reconnect the skin to the cartilage. Often this has been seen in piercing gun piercings where the studs were left in place during the initial healing period instead of changing the studs to sleeper rings. If the bumps are very noticeable consideration should be given to visiting and E.N.T. to have the excess tissue removed.

The lump is simply the skin reforming and re-healing around your piercing.. youll always have a little one but the swelling significantly subsides through the healing process. =] good luck!

No. I had one too when my lip piercing was still healing. It's scar tissue and will go away as the piercing heals.
Cartilage pierced 5 weeks agothe location of it bothers me the piercer didnt put it in the helix part of my ear but rather deeper in the cartilage. If i take it out will it heal totally?
Well you can remove it and the tissue portion of the piercing will heal however the incised cartilage will not heal. Cartilage doesn't heal like other areas of the body, it will develope a lump as it attempts to close and heal and this could last for weeks to months depending on the area. As for the duration of time you have had the piercing that's what makes the healing hard to judge. See in hospitals I.V.'s are relocated after 24 to 48 hours so that the body doesn't try to heal around the I.V. cath. Any time you exceed 48 hours your body will start to heal the piercing by forming a tissue tube around the jewellery. So I would guess if you remove the jewellery and leave it out all together it may heal but it will take a considerable period of time because it's cartilage and there is not the blood circulation in that area to support a shorter healing time. That's why cartilage piercings take so long to heal in the first place. Good luck.
