I've had my ears pierced for almost five years but just noticed a bump next to the piercing on my left ear two days ago. It's not too hard or soft, only hurts when pressed, and has shrunk from its original dome shape. I don't think it's a keloid since those grow inside the piercing could it be an abscess or a boil? I'm worried I might need surgery but hoping for a home remedy if possible.
ent opinion is advised.

I'm really concerned about this bruise on my face. A week ago, I fell and hit my cheekbone pretty hard. At first, it was just bruised there, but now the bruising has spread all around my eye, and my eyelids and part of my cheek are this purple-green color. The swelling has gone down quite a bit, but there's still some, and I have this lump on my cheekbone that just won't go away. Could it be a hematoma? What's the best way to take care of this bruise and lump?
Sorry to hear that! _Bruising and Swelling_ 1. _Normal progression_: Bruising can spread and change colors as it heals. 2. _Swelling reduction_: Significant reduction in swelling is a good sign. _Lump on Cheekbone_ 1. _Possible hematoma_: A collection of blood that can cause a lump. 2. _Other possibilities_: Fat necrosis, bone fracture, or soft tissue injury. _Care and Treatment_ 1. _Cold compresses_: Continue applying cold compresses to reduce swelling. 2. _Elevation_: Keep your head elevated to reduce swelling. 3. _Pain management_: Use over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen. 4. _Monitor for infection_: Watch for signs of infection, such as increased redness, warmth, or pus. 5. _Follow-up appointment_: Schedule a follow-up appointment with your doctor to assess the lump and bruising. _When to Seek Immediate Medical Attention_ 1. _Increased swelling or pain_ 2. _Vision changes or double vision_ 3. _Difficulty moving your eye or face_ 4. _Signs of infection_
