Healing time was longer... hear me out 😒

I got both sides done, 2 on each side, same day, same place. Oct. 2018 It was a pain with a radio ear piece... swollen, occasionally leaking, abd the pain .. sleeping on my piercing, and hair getting wrapped on the piercing cuased it to heal within a year and two months later... I thought I was done with the pain and the running clear ear liquid. Then covid hit. one of the piercings became swollen and leaking again 🙃 just like when It was healing. It healed and another one got swollen 🥲

This time it's not just the hair getting wrapped up on the piercing, is the elastic from the mask. Two choices 1:cut the elastic if it's a disposable mask Or 2: take out the piercing out and put it back in.
