If I take out my cartilage piercing because I have a bump, do I have to get it repierced?

Hello all. So I was wondering if I have to get my ear repierced if I take the piercing out cause of a bump. I just found out today that I had it and bought some sea salt to clean it. I read I had to do this twice a day for awhile until the bump is gone.

I took my piercing out cause it was hurting a little. So I’m just wondering, once the bump swells down. Can I just put my earring back in or will the hole close?

I got it pierced in April but had to get it redone after a week cause they used an earring with copper in it. An my ear swelled. Then I got it redone after the swelling and they used a titanium earring. I put in a stainless steel horseshoe earring about a week or two ago cause it was time to change it. So…I’m really hoping I don’t have to get it repierced again…
