Possibly needs surgical removal, dont use any ear studs/ neem sticks, u can get a piercing at a different site latter but we dont suggest getting helix piercings, they can often lead to masses called keloids

You need to visit ENT doc for examination and probably is a vascular swelling
You need to get it excised surgically and sent for histopath examination
Next Steps
Please do not attempt to remove it on your own
