BUMP ON THE BACK OF YOUR LOBE PIERCING
Lobes piercings are prone to infection, it usually is a bump that grows on the back of the ear and looks like a bruised lump. This lump is filled with pus, blood, and fluid. It can be created from the following: the loops on masks, wet hair, touching your lobe with dirty hands, getting the post caught and pulled and of course hair. When healing we always suggest keeping hair up and off your piercing, washing your hair daily, not touching your piercing with dirty hands, wearing an ear saver for your mask, ensuring hair is dry before sleeping, and trying to be careful not to catch your jewellery.
If you notice one you should immediately do hot saline soaks (take a baking tablespoon fill with warmed saline solution, place the lobe into the solution and keep soaking for one minute and pat dry. repeat this process until the it pops. With clean hands you can massage the lump after the soak to see if it will release. Keep this process up for one week then let heal.

OVER SWELLING AND PAINFUL HELIX, SNUG, CONCH OR OTHER EAR PIERCING
Piercing that is over swelling: This can happen during anytime of the healing process and for many reasons but the one thing you should know that anytime your piercing is throbbing (heart beat feeling) that is over swelling. Signs that you need to see your piercer ASAP; your piercing has the following issues - red and hot, throbbing, piercing site is filling the entire post, painful, purple or dark red. The only thing that will resolve this is getting a longer post placed in immediately. This is an issue that will get worse and not better. If you can not get into your piercer, remove the jewellery and clean the site with warm saline to drain the piercing site. NOTIFY YOUR PIERCER ASAP.
Bumps underneath the fronts of my jewellery
Bumps that are under the top piece of your jewellery can be created from several issues. Number one is sleeping on it, excessive direct pressure can create scar tissue build up. 2. jewellery is to tight from swelling 3. piercing has become tipped or is tipped from initial piercing. The best way to get rid of them is to stop whatever is creating the issues, for example place longer bars in your ear if its from swelling or prop your head so you can not sleep on that side. They will only go away if you stop the reason why you are having the issue in the first place
NOT HAVING CORRECT ANATOMY FOR A NAVEL PIERCING
YOU UNFORTUNATELY DO NOT GET TO PICK HOW YOUR NAVEL IS SHAPED. To have a successful navel piercing you have to have what we call a lip or a ledge on top of your navel. Some like this one shown has no lip at all and the issue is you don't have anything to hold the bar in once pierced. Every time you apply pressure to the area with bending, sitting, pants, etc you are risking the piercing to migrate out. Another issue is having no opening and getting your stomach pierced instead of your actual navel, again will reject. WEIGHT has ZERO TO DO WITH YOUR ability to get pierced.
