I just noticed a large soft red swollen lump on back of 5 year old earlobe, where jawline meets earlobe and a smaller lump directly behind right earlobe where ear piercing is. She got her ears pierced about 4 months ago and changed earrings to gold plated silver a few weeks ago. We removed earrings. Lumps don t seem to be painful and she seems fine, no fever or pain, but does have some tiny red bumos/rash on skin around neck and elbows.
Thanks for asking on Chat Doctor. The lump is bodies excessive reaction to an injury, a condition called keloid. They are painless and often increase in size rather than going away. Unless they are itchy, you need not do anything. However, applying some steroid cream like HY Chat Doctor.  That would reduce the localized inflammation which is causing the redness. For the skin rashes, giving some antiallergic like levocetirizine should be helpful. I hope that helps. Feel free to revert in case of further queries if any.
