Larger ear piercing scars can be treated with physical therapy such as freezing, compression therapy, photoelectric therapy, etc. To prevent recurrence, sometimes even low-dose radiation therapy is needed. If the bumps are large and unsuitable for the above treatments, or if the above treatments are not effective, they can be surgically removed and the wound can be cosmetically sutured after the surgery to ensure minimal tension on the wound, a method of suturing in which the scar that forms after the surgery is usually not noticeable. During the skin wound repair phase, local injections of medications can also be given to prevent the growth of fibroblasts in the scar, reducing scar formation.
