    Default Earlobe Cyst, Anyone have any Exp?

    So I have what I believe is an earlobe cyst, it isn't inflamed or red or even noticeable and it doesn't hurt. The only problem is that it is inside my earlobe, right where a piercing would go. This poses a problem because I want to get my ears pierced and I can't until I get rid of it. I don't think it is scar tissue as I've never had my ears pierced before. I've been reading about it but information is scarce, I've read that either A)Tea tree oil after using a warm cloth on the area(Do this for about a week) or Hold a warm cloth to the area for 15 minutes daily. I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with this kind of thing or could give any insight.
    Would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    You could be a boss and poke a hot, sterilized needle into it and let it drain

    You can have it surgically removed. You wont be wasting your time with fairy tale like healing methods, and you wont risk an infection trying to be a warrior by incising it

    Tea tree oil does have quite a good reputation however.

    Is it a little lump thing that is inside the earlobe and you can kind of move it around?

    If so, I have one of those too. It went mostly away after a while on its own, but it's still kind of there.

    Mhmm, It feels almost like a tiny BB. I've had mine for a decent while now, so I don't think it intends on going away anytime soon by itself. The tea tree oil certainly seems to be doing something, possibly feels a bit smaller. Hard to tell, I'm only on the second day of using it.

    I have those sometimes. I put my ear down on a table and hit it with a hammer.

    **** dude, it was such a mess when it popped. Like, the tiniest little thing made the biggest stupid mess.

    I could still be some kind of quack doctor. I think they call it "new age medicine".

    In my earlobe, not an ear infection. It also doesn't hurt. If it was an ear infection it would be inside my ear canal.
