Steel Captive Rings
Is a gold stud okay for a helix piercing?
I've been having some trouble with my helix piercing, and I think it's because my ears are sensitive to certain metals. When I had my lobes pierced, I was only able to wear real gold earrings until the lobes healed.
I had my helix pierced with a surgical steel captive bead ring (or perhaps titanium... I'm not really sure) in mid February of this year. I decided to change the ring a few weeks ago, in hopes that perhaps a different style ring would make the bump on the back of my ear go away, but the ring keeps getting caught in my hair, which I'm sure is only irritating my piercing more.
Today, I changed the ring again; this time, I chose one of the gold studs that I had my lobes pierced with. The stud and the captive bead ring appear to be the same gauge (16G). Will this help fix my piercing, and help get rid of that annoying little bump?
Stop changing your jewelry...your piercing probably isn't healed at all and gold is not appropriate for unhealed piercings - not even if it is real gold. Go back to your piercer and have them put in a straight barbell or a cbr that is titanium.
The bump on the back of your ear is probably hypertrophic scarring which is really common and treated by emu oil/vitamin e oil massages on the bump twice a day. However, there really is no telling what it is over the internet so you should ask your piercer about it and follow his/her recommendations as to treating it.
If your hair is getting caught on the jewelry then it's best to wear your hair up for the time being.
To the other answer, it's keloid...not celiod. And a keloid is not the body's way of healing nor are they common at all.
