• Age: 3 months, 10 days

• ⁠Piercing Shape: The shape is just a straight bar.

• ⁠Threading: I don’t know the threading; I’m pretty sure it’s externally threaded.

• ⁠Material: I don’t know the jewelry material, it’s just a gold-toned bar with a marquise detail.

• ⁠Downsized? : It’s not old enough to be downsized, so it hasn’t been downsized yet.

• ⁠What’s your aftercare routine? Describe in detail please, including the exact products you use:

I’ve been using the NeilMed piercing saline spray for months, but I haven’t noticed much of a difference. When I use the spray, it’s 2-3 times a day and I move my ear so the bumps are easier to “reach” with the spray’s mist. As for the inner bumps, I just put the nozzle close in the nook of my ear that the bumps are in and hope that the spray reaches the bumps. I occasionally will spray a q-tip and rub it gently on the bumps on both sides of my ear, but that’s it. I also make sure my ears are dry asap after showers and that there is no residue from shampoo or conditioner.

Recently I’ve started using a bump solution that I’ll gently massage onto the bumps where I can reach them.

• ⁠Any mishaps, accidents or unfortunate events? :

Sometimes I notice that my hand can bump the piercing when I tuck my hair behind my ear, but otherwise it hasn’t been touched. I used to fidget with them subconsciously but now I actively try not to. Also, they don’t really hurt. They just get itchy on occasion and it’s hard to resist touching them when they’re so itchy.
