So I got my helix pierced on March 15, and healing has been mostly okay until recently. A few days ago I removed the jewelry to clean it and had the HARDEST time putting it back in. Like it genuinely would not go back easily and I was struggling for a while before finally getting it through.

Now I’m paranoid that maybe I accidentally pushed it through the wrong hole/path or something 😭

The weird thing is:
- there’s no major pain
- no bleeding
- no throbbing
- but it does feel sore/tender when I touch it
- it’s also a bit swollen/red around the area

There was a tiny bit of white crust/discharge too, but not a lot. I can still move the jewelry a little and it’s not stuck.

Has this happened to anyone else after reinserting jewelry? If it went through the wrong angle/hole would I be in a LOT more pain? Or can irritation alone make it swollen and sore like this?

Cartilage piercings are literally humbling me 💀

Recently watched Raksha again after many years and honestly… ee movie naaku childhood nundi same unsettling feeling istundi

I’ve watched many horror movies, but Raksha hits differently. Especially aa atmosphere, background music, and black magic concept… chinnappudu choosinappati nundi konni scenes still mind lo unnayi.

Real life lo nenu eppudu black magic or paranormal experience cheyyaledu, but this movie somehow makes me question things every time I watch it

Maybe mana childhood lo choosina movies impact ala untundemo. Anyone else felt genuinely disturbed by this movie growing up?

Also, what are your views on black magic/paranormal stuff? Real aa, psychological aa, leka mana fear and culture valle anipistunda?

I got this helix piercing recently and had a small irritation bump forming, but I’ve been using NeilMed saline spray daily and making sure not to touch or sleep on it.

The bump has gone down a lot compared to before, and there’s is pain, no swelling, or no discharge right now.

From how it looks now, does healing seem to be on track? Just want to make sure I’m not missing anything or if I should keep doing exactly what I’m doing.

Any advice or reassurance would help!
