I think my tragus journey ends soon

I'm so over it. I've had this piercing for 3 months now. it was pierced with the wrong jewelry, grew a small irritation bump, changed jewelry at a different piercer and the bump kept growing. I'm at a loss. I've done LITHA, saline 1-2x day, air dry, and used a piercing pillow. I kinda became frustrated because the blister/bump was so swollen and raw and I tried to pop it. at this point I'm just done. I have a dermatology appointment in a couple days and I'll have them look at it, but I think it's time to retire. I'm just sad about my money going down the drain. What do you guys think?
