Can the bump of my cartilage piercing go away if i leave it alone?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on how long: its been there. If the pierce is within the last couple months then yes the bump may still improve but if longer than that you may need cortisone to reduce scar tissue or there may be an infection, see derm
