Cauliflower Ears, Swelling After Piercing?

randomusername
Hello I would like to ask about cauliflower ears, I had my upper ear pierced over 1 month ago and I was hoping that the swelling would have gone down but still now my right ear is swollen. It isnt that extreme, but I am worried about it. If I take the piercing out, there is a lump right on it. Do you think this will go away?
