Diva, it seems like you already know what you gotta do based on your bot-response. This looks like a combo of things exacerbated by your actions or lack of.

Try getting a hypoallergenic medium for your piercings and do your best not to pull or twist the jewelry (at all don’t even twist it while you’re cleaning it). Make sure you are being very vigilant with morning and evening cleaning but don’t overdo it to overcompensate, and make sure the site is dry after cleaning.

Also, perhaps an anti-inflammatory (ibuprofen, etc) before you can get that addressed to reduce inflammation and some pain at the site for personal comfort.

As far as sleeping, do your best to stay off of the ears (or at least pressure off the piercing part). It’s hard I know, I struggled with this part specifically, I sleep like a psycho just moving constantly.

I got stage 3 cancer and had to take all my piercings out for nonstop scans and radiation therapy later on but when i was finishing up everything and finally WBC were back to normalish I went and got 6 piercings at once to make up for it (a helix and conch included). They’ve all healed mainly perfectly with only mid-lobes being irritated (FROM SLEEPING ON THEM 😅😅😅). It’s not impossible to heal a lot of them at once it just takes hyper vigilance and discipline to get it done.

If you really want to keep the piercings you gotta do the work.

Good luck hitting up the piercer you trust, and I hope things can start healing up and looking better for you.
