I got an industrial bar piercing about 2 months ago, and I thought it was healing up well. I took it out today to clean it, & I realized that my cartilage is growing up a little. It’s kind of like it’s trying to grow up over my barbell. Is this normal?
It’s probably just scar tissue, if you are all healed.
If it’s only a little, ignore it. Some people grow keloid scars, which are scary looking.
For some gross-looking examples, see this article:

And don’t get any more piercings unless you like the look of the scar, since this is your personal scar pattern.
