I was just wondering if it would be bad to pierce my earlobes if these cysts just occur so randomly. The cysts themselves are never severe enough to be visible, nor do they hurt simply when they are touched, though you can definitely feel them when they're there. They also go away on their own. But yeah, would it be advised not to pierce my earlobes at all? (I hope not cause I really want to). Also, if I have a cyst currently, should I wait for it to go away before getting the lobe pierced?
