A member asked:

I have a red bump in my ear and it's painful and i've had it for a couple of days. i have my ears pierced. should i be concerned?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Red bump in ears: A red bump might mean an abscess or infection. Rush to have this treated because if it involves the cartilage, this can spread and destroy the cartilage and you end up with a horribly deformed ear. This is an emergency if it involves the cartilage. Do not put heat on it.
