Conch Ear piercing causing swelling
My fiancee got an ear piercing done on the ear conch. After about a week, a swollen lump started building next to the piercing area. She is in discomfort due to this lump.
Which specialisation doctor should we consult. Attaching a pic of affected area. Pls note that it may seem yellowish as we jad applied some turmeric on the lump. Please advise
Thanks!
