Can I get my helix pierced if I have a cyst but not in the area?

Asked By:levimealone in Brampton, ON

Ive had cysts in my earlobes for quite some time, I've got one surgical removed, but it still get cysts whilst the other earlobe doesn't. I've wanted to get my helix and tragus pierced for long time now, and i was wondering if it will be okay for me to do so. I dont get cysts in these areas of my earlobe (in the tragus and helix area). Hope I can get some advice on this, thanks!
