My daughter 13(f) has a small bulge in her ear. it feels round, and is located just above her piercing (pierced when she was 9, have re-pierced 3 times, last when she was 10) it is about the size of a small pea. should i be worried? thanks answering?

I don't think it's anything serious. It could be a lump of scar tissue ( or a keloid) or it could be a cyst. A physician or dermatologist would have to examine it for diagnosis and then advise you.
