    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.
