Bump on cartilage piercin

2017-04-20 03:42:36
I recently noticed a bump behind the back of my ear on my cartilage piercing. The piercing is over a year old and I'm unable to remove the earring. There is no pain or redness, it just feels tender. What are the potential treatment for it? Is it serious?
