They are called Califlower scars. Even though they are called "scars", they are not permanent. Califlower scars are usually caused when the piercing becomes irritated. They have a puss in them and and often confused with Keloids, which is a bump caused by an excess of scar tissue. Keloids can't be cured, but can be taken off with a laser. They usually come back, though. Keloids are also usually found on the lobes and with people who have darker skin. Unlike Keloids, you can get rid of Hypertrophic scars fairly easily. I got them on all of my cartilage piercings (3). What I did was take out my earrings and wash my piercing with an antibacterial soap (foaming works best, but if you don't have it then just rub soap in water in your hands to make bubbles). I made sure to wash it very gently. If you don't, then you can irritate it. Make sure that it is as dry as possible without being too rough and irritating it. Then, I washed the earring and earring back with strong antibacterial soap and very hot water. After that, I made sure that the earring was dry. I followed that by gently putting the earring back in an put the back on. If it is hard to get in, use a bit of Triple Antibiotic Ointment on the earring to lubricate it and make it easier to slide in. It will also help aid in the healing process. After you do this, make sure to leave it alone. Don't touch it and definitely don't sleep on it. Mine went away in about a week, and for my most stubborn one, two weeks.
What else can I help you with?
What ear should you pierce for upper ear cartilage?
Its better to get it on which ever ear you don't sleep on or talk on the phone with to make healing easier. I'd put it on the less attractive ear. It'll distract from weird cartilage folds and whatnot. No such thing as a "gay ear".

How do I get rid of bumps next to cartilage piercings?
Well getting rid of the bumps involves understanding how they got there in the first place. If the piercing was done with a piercing gun, then there's your culprit. See ear cartilage piercings done with a piercing gun (which they are not supposed to do but they do it any way) damages the fine tissue* (*perichondrium ) between the cartilage and the back skin of the ear cartilage, this tearing action pulls the layer away from the cartilage and thus the lump is formed.Often referred to as Cauliflower Ear, this is the damage done to the ear cartilage when boxers would not wear protective head gear and the gloves would contact the ear cartilage skin tearing it free from the cartilage damaging the perichondrium in the process.Removing ear studs and replacing the studs with captive bead rings and irrigating the piercings daily during showering has allowed the tissue to settle and in some cases reattach to the cartilage, this can take several weeks to notice a marked change in the lumps.Another cause for lumps on ear cartilage is a process call a "Hypertrophic Reaction". This is where a irritant is introduced into the piercing causing the tissue to swell up and form a lump next to the piercing. Generally due to over use of a cleaning produce used to clean the piercing, the over use causes this reaction to occur. Simple flushing of the piercing with warm running water daily during showering while moving the jewellery has been very successful in removing the irritant and the bumps diminishing in size over several weeks.
