A member asked:
I think i have a cyst in each earlobe my question is 1)how do you know if you have a cyst? 2)can i pierce my ears? or get a piercing right next to it?

Have it examined: A cyst will feel like a moveable ball. They can form from piercing and they can also get infected. You should not get another piercing until it is examined. Sometimes when they get infected there is left a big scar or defect in the ear which will be hard to fix. See you doctor.
