Helix Piercing

Hi guys.

Two years ago I got a helix piercing with a gun. It was terrible and the most traumatising experience. However, I managed to keep a stud in for almost 2 years. It recently fell out and I found a small bump near my ear.

I went to a professional piercing and he said .. the gun has damaged your cartilage. He recommended me to get it done with a needle. So I got done again in the same place today. However, there’s a bump on the place where I got the piercing from the gun, do you think this will go away or is this permanent?

I will insert a photo below

Really, so there’s nothing to freak out about?

I got it redone with a needle today, after I saw that bump = caused by the gun.. ergh.

You’ve gotta give it time, it won’t go away very quick x

I’m so worried because it looks so ugly. It messes with my confidence levels :frown:

It’s not even an infection. I don’t even know what that bump is. I’m scared of a cauliflower ear or anything like that severe.
