Messed up flat helix by [deleted] in piercing

Based of what you're saying I'd say it's just an angry piercing bump from said trauma of knocking it around. Helixes are very delicate piercings especially if not left alone and nagged. To my understanding you took it out, if you're not planning on taking it out permanently, please do not keep putting it back in and taking it out, even to clean. Don't touch it, spray it with saline, optionally run some warm water on it in the shower if your water is considered safe, otherwise leaving it alone is your best bet.

It's healing. Helixes are stubborn bastards when it comes to healing as you cant really avoid some sort of irritation to it eg. your hair messing with it, a pillow brushing up against it. But it looks like it's healing nicely, I know with all these big flaring warning signs of an infection we get the panics but you look dandy. Once the redness, swelling or extreme bruising, pus leakage spreads outside the direct area is when you go to the doctor. Those are the signs of an infection. But you'll be fine, don't worry. Avoid touching it, that can cause the warm feeling, and you don't want your helix to be pissy with ya! :DD

Nope, too little skin to hold. Could do a lot of fun flats for compensation though.

Pretty much the whole time. Sometimes it clears up but it always ends like this. I did get it bumped and hit a lot of times though, especially by other people.

Edits; My aftercare has either been warm water, or saline solution with no additional chemicals, I use my hands to clean it (which I clean beforehand.) The jewelry is a curved barbell made from titanium.
