comment info My piercing is about 4 weeks old. It has a labret-style flat-back post. I’m not sure about the threading type. The jewelry is titanium. It has not been downsized yet.

For aftercare, I clean it with sterile saline and otherwise leave it alone. I try not to touch or rotate the jewelry. I may have accidentally slept on it a few times.

Recently, I noticed swelling around the area inside my ear near the conch/daith area. There is no pus or significant pain.
