Is My Conch Irritated or Infected?

I’ve had my piercing for almost 6 months. I do believe my bar is too small, so I am going to get it changed to a longer one. No real redness or swelling. I’ve been cleaning as normal and doing cold compresses here and there, it does look like it has a bump or slight embedding, but it’s not giving infection. what do you guys think? it’s been hell of a healing process!

excuse the dry skin on my ear. that’s normal for me.
