English is not my first language I’m sorry.
I’m posting this because I’m worried about my helix piercing. It’s bleeding and oozing what I think is lymph fluid. Here’s how my piercing looks today—I took a really hard elbow to it. It’s throbbing and burning. I got it pierced in mid-January, and ever since then I’ve had this lump that hasn’t gone away. I don’t sleep on it and I don’t apply any treatment. Sometimes it starts to swell up like in the second photo. Today it’s swollen like in the first one, and I won’t even get you started on the back of my ear. I saw two different piercers on the same day two months ago; one told me to keep the piercing, the other to remove it. What should I do?
