Why does the cartilage piercing still hurt after three months and what is the bump on the back of the ear next to the hole?

The cartilage takes a long time to heal I've had mine done for over a year and it still really hurts and has not healed properly. I've still got the original earring in and i wouldn't change it until it is healed fully. The bump on the back of your ear is from getting it done with a gun instead of a hollow needle. It's all the skin and stuff shoved to the back.

How long does it take to heal a cartilage piercing?
It depends on your body's ability to heal itself, and how well you take care of the piercing. On average I'd say between two to three months initially, but it can take up to a year to heal completely. Two months is the time it took for mine to "appear" healed, as in, the time when it stopped crusting and was safe to swap out the jewelry. I've heard of that phase being reached as early as three weeks though, so take plenty of vitamin C, keep up the sea salt rinses and enjoy your fab new piercing!
