If the lump is on the back of the piercing, then it sounds like "cauliflower ear" this occurs when the tissue is damaged and not allowed to heal correctly. Most often seen in poorly done ear cartilage piercings and boxers who didn't wear ear protection. The skin is force fully removed from the underlying cartilage where plasma builds up to try to repair the damage, this plasma forms a lump to attempt to reconnect the skin to the cartilage. Often this has been seen in piercing gun piercings where the studs were left in place during the initial healing period instead of changing the studs to sleeper rings. If the bumps are very noticeable consideration should be given to visiting and E.N.T. to have the excess tissue removed.

What is the cause of a lump on your outer ear above the ear lobe on the cartilage area of the outer ear?
You may have an infection. I got my lobes pierced, and my left ear got infected, but now my right ar is infected, and not my left. My piercer told me to put "a topical ointment" on it if it gets infected (a topical ointment is something like Neosporin which works well for me). I also take Ibuprofen an hour or so before bed so I sleep easier, and it doesn't hurt as much. Go ahead and call a doctor or piercer. Even if you don't have your cartilage pierced, put Noesporin on it, take Ibuprofen, and calll a doctor.

Why is there a big bump behind your newly pierced ear?
I had this behind me ears 3 months after I got them pierced, they were the size of a quarter. I went to the doctors and they said they haven't seen anything like it, but they gave me some antibiotics. Within a week they were down to a size of a penny. 9 months later I still have them. But they don't get in the way. Don't worry about them, they wont kill you.
