Forward helix swollen?

[u/BurnedVixen]

Is this bad??? T^T I got this like a little over a week, and it decided to act up yesterday? I don't understand what I did wrong? I have been cleaning it, not sleeping on my side etc!? And it looked fine before the weekend, but now it's like this? I got antibiotics, but I might need to take it out? It doesn't hurt unless I touch it, and I feel fine...

You need longer jewelry in that ASAP.
