For anyone getting their ears pierced, whether it’s the earlobe or outer ear cartilage, we recommend stud piercing earrings rather than hoops or dangling styles.
Likewise, people ask, why is there a ball in my earlobe after piercing?
Lumps can form on the earlobe following a piercing. This is caused by the body making too much scar tissue, known as keloids, which spread out from the original wound, causing a small mass or bump which is bigger than the original piercing. A keloid will not go away on its own and will require surgical intervention.
Simply so, what are earlobe piercings called?
The simple term “ear piercing” usually refers to an earlobe piercing, whereas piercings in the upper part of the external ear are often referred to as “cartilage piercings“. Cartilage piercings are more complex to perform than earlobe piercings and take longer to heal.

Do needle piercings heal faster?
