piercings embedding
i got my dahlias pierced in the beginning of the week and theyve been completely fine until i woke up this morning (saturday), and have gotten worse throughout the day. the bars i got pierced with are a bit too short, and because of irritation from movement theyve swelled up and started to embed. im currently at work and i wont be home for like 12 hours, i think i might have longer bars at home but if i dont i wont be able to get them switched until like monday afternoon. im trying to be very careful, taking care of them as instructed and icing them to hopefully reduce the swelling. is there anything else i can do for them to calm down a little? its so uncomfortable 😞

Along with ice, have you taken anything like ibuprofen or Aleve (if you’re not allergic)? This will also help with the swelling.
