I have experienced this very recently. The doctors did not know what I had, they were thinking the mumps, then some other disease very similar to the mumps, and all the antibiotics that they were giving me was not working. We soon found out that I had cat scratch fever. If you have cats or have been scratched by a cat in your facial area, this is most likely what it is. It is not contagious, and the lumps will be there for 2-4 months. Bring this up with your doctor because I got a special medicine that helped the lump go down quite a bit. Hope this helps!

∙ 12y agoThis is called hypertrophic scarring. It is caused by the jewellry putting pressure on the ear, and making scar tissue build up around the area of the piercing. You should soak it once or twice a day with salt water or tea tree oil in some warm water, and change the jewellry. If you have a hoop/curved jewellry you should chage to a straight, and if you have a straight chance to a curved, This changed the pressure on the piercing and allows it to go down. If you have an industrial piercing, you should put two separate pieces of jewellry in until the scarring has gone down. Try to avoid touching the piercing as much as possible.
