For some time now, I have had some kind of balls inside my earlobes. What should I do?

Hello,

Are these "balls" located near the piercings?

Are they very large and visible?

Are they painful?

Piercings can cause "keloids" which are a kind of growth of cartilage. These usually appear near and around the piercing. This happens mostly when piercing the cartilage at the top of the ear (rarely near the classic earring piercings at the bottom).

From my research, healing these injuries is complicated and may require cortisone injections or even surgery in more severe cases.

It is therefore possibly these famous keloids. They are benign lesions that are a kind of scar from the piercing.

Since it's small, not painful and has been there for a long time, I wouldn't worry any more.

If you are concerned, you could talk to your doctor.

Have a nice day!

When was the last time you wore them?

Okay.

If the infection is resolved and you have no pain, you can put earrings back on in my opinion.
