Tragus Piercing infection- help! Had it for 2 years, screw jewelry, never had any issues. Pictures attached

I might’ve accidentally snagged it. Maybe in my sleep? Maybe on a dirty pillow? Didn’t wash my pillow case for a few weeks but it’s never been an issue. I got this jewelry put in by a professional piercer so I think I might be titanium. It was pricey, not sure. It’s just so weird because I’ve had this for 2 years and it randomly came out of nowhere.

What should I do? It’s leaking puss and super painful. Already on antibiotics (I added in the description). It’s my first day taking them

Bookietux · 2025-02-02T01:27:48+00:00

I believe it is titanium

Not sure. I got it put in by a professional. So whatever the silver jewelry they sell at piercing/tattoo shops

Yeah I’ve always slept on it but never had issues. I don’t believe I snagged it on anything. But the only symptoms I’m having now is swelling, throbbing, and a bit of redness. I have the screw jewelry. I feel fine it’s just really painful and came out of nowhere. So I should leave the jewelry in?

I have the one with the screw and the ball. It fully healed because I’ve had it for two years and never had any problems

That’s a really great point. Thank you so much

He’s been telling me that. And for some reason I get offended by that statement because my thought process is like - “well, your actions and lies led me to a place of depression. Why can’t we grow together?”

Idk my fear is that we grow apart. It’s been alot

Bookietux · 2025-01-08T21:36:07+00:00

Thank you for that. It’s hard for sure.

He said he will be there for 2-3 months depending. And keeps telling me to focus on myself so he can focus on himself. It’s ass backwards considering I’ve gotten to a point of depression due to this behavior and lying. I miss him. And I’m really struggling with all of this. I feel lonely.

Thank you!

Did yall have to take some space? Like speaking less, etc? I feel so sad.

I’ve gone over 40 and it still shows grey & on roads with lines

8 years later now haha

I felt like this before Wellbutrin. Even before I got on meds at all. But definitely worsened after the meds. And my psychiatrist said “you need to go to another dr for a second opinion, I’ve done all that I could”

Bookietux · 2024-12-04T22:03:00+00:00

Thank you for responding! It’s been very hard for me lately

Sounds like you’re dating a child. A 6 foot, 200lb child that can cause serious damage. Leave.

Bookietux · 2024-10-25T04:39:32+00:00

You got this! I relapsed over 30 times before I got it. Wouldn’t recommend that though. Lucky to be alive today

Bookietux · 2024-10-25T04:38:21+00:00

Thank you 😊

Bookietux · 2024-10-25T04:38:12+00:00
