“Is it normal to get bumps in the ear after piercing? ”
I recently got the upper part of my ears pierced. I used the gel to numb the sensation, and the pain was barely felt. However, I got a few bumps around the pierced area. Is it a reaction of the gel or is it normal? Will it subside on its own?

Probably a reaction to the gel or the metal earring keeping the piercing open.
No but it will subside
I would assume that the gel you used had some type of local anesthetic in it like lidocaine or cetocaine. These local anesthetics are not known to cause such lumps or bumps. The lumps could have come about either from other ingredients in the gel or any other products that could have been used during the process.

Check it out that you are not getting infected.
Definitely can be a reaction to the gel or the ring itself. You need to be seen by a dermatologist or ENT to evaluate those bumps as many things can cause bumps. Without seeing there is not much else to advise unfortunately
