A member asked:
I got a cartilage piercing at 16, i had it a few months then let it close from infection. this hard mass is still there, how do i get rid of it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably do not: Chances are this lump will remain. It is the injury to the tissue and unless you have cosmetic surgery will most likely remain
