I got my snug pierced in the beginning of January 2010. After first getting it done it was VERY sore for awhile and it had a white-ish discharge that crusted on the jewelry. I didn't think anything of that at first because I have my tragus and rook pierced and they both got like that but it went away as the piercings healed. Well after having my snug pierced for months, it was still sore, slightly swollen, and still had the crusty discharge. But then towards the end of June it was hurting a lot less, not swollen anymore, and no longer getting the crusty stuff. I was so excited because I thought it was healing but then a day later I got a bump on the back of my ear directly behind the piercing that had the same white discharge. It was like that for about a week and then was perfectly fine. But now within the past 2 weeks it has started to be sore and get crusty again, and today I realized that I am now getting another bump in the exact same spot. I have a total of 14 piercings and have never had any problems with any of them, they all healed rather quickly and just fine. Someone told me that my ear may be rejecting the piercing. Has anyone experienced these symptoms, or know what it is? What should I do? Please help!
