Hi there I got a cartilage piercing like a year ago and I have this bump that won't go away! I know its really similar to most other people's posts, but its has been here for ages and I want it gone. I've tried SSS, tea tree oil, aspirin paste, salicyclic acid discs but nothing has worked:( The bump is about 7mm in length and is right above my piercing. I woul really appreciate feedback as it is putting me off getting other piercings. I am pretty sure its hypertrophic scarring, but yea I'm not sure. Also does anyone know anything about hydrocortisone injections? Because I am considering getting one to get rid of this problem.
