hii i’ve never posted on reddit before so my apologies for any errors!!
i got my helix and mid-helix pierced eight days ago and originally they were doing great (after first three days no redness, pain or swelling) but then two days ago i was brushing my hair and accidentally snagged both😭 they were all twisted around and i just let them sit before gently nudging them back into place when i was cleaning them that night
the top of my ear has gone all pink and its swollen again💔 it hurts a teeny bit and my mid-helix bled a little but neither to the point where they interrupt my daily routine yk? and the piercings dont smell weird and havent leaked any pus so i think im in the clear but i still wanted to get the opinion of someone more experienced than i bc im kind of paranoid💀 i’ve been nuking them with saline spray bc im so scared of an infection
thank you so much to anyone kind enough to give a quick bit of advice! it is much appreciated <333
