I have a bump on my tragus, I think I made it worse??
Question: I had my tragus pierced before, but I took it out and eventually got it redone in the same area. I never had any problems with the inital piercing, but the second one has been nothing but trouble. I've had it pierced for almost 8 months, and it seems the entire time I have had the dreaded bump . I also have my nose pierced and had the bump , put tea tree oil on it and it went away in a few days. I have been trying to do this on my tragus but it's not working.
I looked at it and it looks like it was filled with blood, or some other liquid (I know, its disgusting). I disinfected a safety pin and tried to extract the liquid, hoping this would make the bump go down. It hasnt helped and now it's a very dark red. It bled a lot, more than I expected.
What else should I try? Im hoping to avoid the doctors because I dont have a lot of time or money to deal with this. Should I try saltwater soaks? IS IT DISCOURAGING THAT IT BLED? I've never had that happen before.
Please help!
Answers: I would try to hot pack it and see if it will come to a head. unfortunently I had the same problem and couldn't get anything to help. I went and seen a doctor and I was told that it appears to me that there is fluid in it..but it is actually solid...I ended up getting it lanced and I haven't had a problem since. good luck
what is a tragus?
First, it is full with puss (a white liquid). Second, you have to go to the doctor. Third, you may need to use a scare remover. Fourth, what is a tragus.
Hope this helps.
'When in doubt, get it checked out.' You don't want to end up with a serious infection that goes throughout your whole system giving blood poisoning (sepsis). Please call your dr or go to the ER.
If you don't want to go to the doctor you could always go to your piecer and have them check it out.
It is most likely a keliod.....they are puss/fluid build up that usually appear around piercings.
Most likely you will have to go to the doctor and have some antibiotics given to you.
Also, don't mess with it anymore. Even though you used a disinfected safety pin, the bacteria, can backtrack deeper under the skin and make the infection worse. Try not to touch it and make an appointment with a doctor.
