live with it, I just shot myself in the foot because the hole looks cool and now I have a infection and they may have to cut my foot off. but it looks sooooooo coooool, I did every thing to keep it from getting infected, I even put a steel post through it. I just don't understand????
 
How do I heal it and what is it? I've been doing everything my piercer said. However, I got it done at a tattoo convention and I can't go back to him to get it looked at. I was stupid and switched out the jewelry too soon, like after two weeks, to a shorter bar. Only the bat was too short.. Maybe the pressure caused this? Btw, I have longer jewelry in now :)
 
Well, definately keep that longer jewelry in for a few months since that type of piercing swells. You will need the extra room. And the bump will go down eventually. It's called scar tissue and it's due to your piercing being restricted by the shorter bar. Just keep up the care and let it be for now. After a couple of months, see what's it's like then before you decide to do changing.
 
I suggest going to your local tattoo/piercing shop and asking them there. Even if they didn't do the piercing they should know what the blister is; I'm sure they've seen it many times before.
