Piercing?
I got a helix piercing in early February.
The piercing is still painful, and puss comes out of it, but the worst part is that if I take out the jewellery and put my thumb and index finger on the piercing (like pinching it from both sides)I can feel a huge, bump type of thing there, which is slightly painful.
What can I do? What could this be?

While it does sound like it might be infected, it might not be. I have an anti-eyebrow piercing, & it does weird things like that if I irritate it, like getting caught on the blanket or anything. If you irritate it at all, it can cause pain & puss. The bump does sound similar to a keloid scar, though, so you should probably go see your piercer for their opinion on the situation. Plus, if it needs to be removed, it's best to have your piercer do it.

the piercing is definitely infected and the bump your feeling is called a small keloid (overgrowth of tissue) keloids usually grow in infected areas of healing skin, they're not harmful or anything. your best bet is to take the piercing out all together or your skin will form scar tissue and it'll just make it complicated for you. best wishes.

Hmm, your peircing is infected. I dont think the bump is relovent, because it is just the feeling of the hole, but the puss and swelling is a sign of infection. The best thing you could do is see a doctor and get a prescription for that thing
