I had my earlobes priests going on two years ago. I haven't worn ratings for at least 1-2 months and in my left ear the area around the piercing has become harder. Today I was looking closer at the hole and area. I squeezed it together to make sure no pus came from from the hole. And it didn't, it came from beside it. Not the actual hole, but below it. Was this a zit? Is this something to worry about? What should I do with it now.
