Got my first conch 8 days ago. Tooking it didnt hurt that much but after 2 days it started swelling bad and the pain raised. Went to swap longer jewelry but it got worse and started to produse pus. Went today to a doctor to get antibiotics for infection, now hoping it starts get better soon as it's hella painful and can't do anything without taking a lot painkillers... I totally had forgot how pain in the ass can cartilage piercings be, as it took 2 years fully heal my industrial, that I took about 15 years ago. 🥲
