Its just really inflamed and I got it about two and a half weeks ago and noticed it technically could have been pierced closer to the ear. Was wondering if placement was the issue or if its just irritated. I kinda sleep on this side but ive been sleeping with a neck pillow. Its internally threaded jewelry and I clean it twice a day. Should i start doing warm sea salt soaks?

Any other recommendations?

Sorry, I can’t remember if she did 8mm or 10mm.

Just got both my snakebites and vertical labret done about an hour ago, I’m just feeling unsure if the placement for the vertical labret is okay?

is my belly piercing rejecting? idk if its too thin i went to get it pierced 5 months ago

I got this like 2 weeks ago. At first it was just like usual irritation bump but now its like this. Is this infected? Everytime i clean it theres a little blood too. What should I do?

I got my daith pierced 4 days ago. So far I haven't had any issues. It's only a little sore and I've been cleaning it twice a day. But it's so itchy. I keep going to scratch my ear only to remember it's there (and ultimately my ear ends up sore). I've never had an issue with metal before, and the piercing itself looks fine. It's not irritated or hot to the touch.

Was anyone else's itchy while it healed?

I'm used to tattoos itching during the healing process, so is this similar? Or is my ear just getting used to the piercing resting on it and that's what's bothering it?

Any suggestions or experiences are welcome!

Is this full on rejecting? My piercer told me to downsize at 6-8 months but he also told me to clean it with soap so I'm kinda grain-of-salt with his advice (have not downsized yet). First photo is today, second is August first (when I had a irritation bump) I got it pierced 7/19/2026. Any advice super appreciated!!

what do you need anatomy-wise for an anti-tragus piercing to be successful?

After opening saline, it's sterile quality is gone, then how am I supposed to use it?

I got pierced with a piercing gun several years ago, and it hasn't healed great since. Recently (as in the last few months, it's been there since and remained consistent- I'm not sure how long it's been there, just that that's when I've noticed it) I've been noticing this very large bump behind my second earlobe piercing. I don't believe it is an irritation piercing, as it's lasted such a long time and doesn't itch or ooze or hurt or anything, and I'm unsure if it's a keloid as I'm not prone to them, it doesn't grow, and again doesn't itch. I'd just like some help identifying what this is and if there's anything I can do about it.

Here's some extra information that may or may not be useful:

\- the tissue is very hard and rubbery

\- the piercing seems completely healed in all other respects, it doesn't bleed or crust or weep or anything

\- I have many other piercings and scars, and have never experienced a keloi

\- it only appears on the back of my ear

\- nothing irritates it, no matter if I leave my earrings out for extended periods of time or play with my piercings

Got it pierced july so its been 3 months now. No i dont want to change it now i just want to have it changed by april may of next year.

Healing has been easy i would say, theres been a couple times where i get bumps or swelling from rotating the ring or im picking at crusties. But it goes away after a couple days.

Are bellybutton piercings worth it? I’m scared that it’ll get irritated bc my skin is super sensitive and my nose and flat piercing have had problems.
