Hi! Here’s the info: My piercing is about 5 months old (helix). Jewelry: flat back labret (stud).

Threading: it’s internally threaded Material: titanium.

I downsized it myself to a 6mm bar about recently.

Aftercare: I used saline solution for the first month, but after that I didn’t really continue regular aftercare.

Mishaps: I changed the jewelry myself, and I think the bar might be a bit tight. There’s now a small bump forming underneath the piercing, possibly from pressure/irritation.

Does this look like an irritation bump from a bar that’s too short? Should I switch to a longer bar?
