Ear piercing infection
I had gotten my ear pierced almost 3 months ago and recently I got a bump on the back of the piercing. My friends all have the same one and said that it is normal for this bump to show up near the jewelry but mine hurts a lot and has been bleeding quite frequently even though I do not touch or bother it. Is it not as normal as I may think?
