For the past year or so I've noticed I have this really hard, non-painful bump on my earlobe. It was pretty small until I pierced my earlobe recently, right through the bump and now it seems to have gotten bigger and still really hard. It only hurts now because I have pierced it but before, it didn't hurt at all. Also, the bump is noticeable from the front of my earlobe but not so much on the back and if you look at my earlobe from the side you can clearly tell there is pea sized bump there.
