Flat, rook, and lobe piercings with different styles of jewelry

A piercing bump is a common issue that appears as a small, raised swelling around a new piercing. It can result from irritation, improper aftercare, or minor infections. One effective treatment is using sea salt soaks, which help reduce inflammation and promote healing.

However, it’s always best to consult your piercer, who can offer personalized advice based on the type of piercing and the severity of the bump to ensure safe and proper care.
