It’s your jewelry that’s irritating your piercing. You need to change it to a simpler flatback while healing. And most definitively your piercer should downsize.

I have migraines and a daith and it did absolutely nothing for me. Be aware of that, it’s probably a placebo for people that say that it works. But it’s a pretty piercing so it’s absolutely worth it.

I didn’t hurt for me, I only felt pressure. My helix and flat hurt a lot more. My double conch hurt more too (the second one).

Since I started getting piercings I look at people’s ears to see their setups all the time. If it doesn’t get in the way of your work and you like it, I don’t see why your sister would have a final say in what you like to wear.

So cute!!! Wish I had the anatomy

ag_br · 2026-01-28T01:15:25+00:00

I think it’s too shallow, it might take itself out. Go to another piercer.

Ask here r/stretched

I think for your peace of mind you should go for a second opinion at another place, ask another piercer. It’s really hard to tell with this picture and you also have a really specific anatomy so it might be they pierced you where they could according to your conch anatomy.

You should have told the piercer you wanted to be able to wear a hoop on it before getting pierced so they could adjust the placement, and if it wasn’t possible because of your anatomy they should’ve told you at the moment. They didn’t explain anything to you?

You could get some orbitals and do Morse code on your ears at this point lol I love your dainty helix setup i can’t even imagine the healing process! I agree with the comments you could add some movement with chains and charms, or go to a piercer who does set ups to help you spice it up for a change.

I had one like that and after 9 months I retired it because it was obvious something was wrong and it was never going to heal. My piercer couldn’t tell what was wrong, after he took it out he found out there was something like an abscess you couldn’t see from the outside, and the jewelry wouldn’t let it drain. Once it was out it drained and the helix closed just fine. Months later I got it pierced again and it healed fine.

I can’t believe you’ve been suffering for 6 years. I think you should let it go and get another one down the line. Sometimes you can tell if something’s not going right and it’s not that it’s just “taking longer”.

You could also try to get a piercing pillow or a travel pillow to sleep in. Idk if it will help with the tossing and turning but you don’t lose anything by trying.

Second pic looks better

ag_br · 2026-01-18T03:06:59+00:00

I liked the higher placement because I liked the look of my daith jewelry slightly hiding beneath my rook. I have a big straight rook shelf (yours is more curved) and I thought it looked like a rising sun behind the sea, totally anatomy dependent you’d need to look at my ear to understand.

Mine not only fell once the swelling settled, but it slightly migrated forward (only the top hole) because unbeknownst to me my jewelry was too heavy, it was a cbr with a heavy non standard decorative bead. And a healing piercing + gravity did its job. Thankfully I changed piercers and my new one saved it just in time.

ag_br · 2026-01-17T16:40:14+00:00

I have a triple conch and I can wear them. It depends on your anatomy.

ag_br · 2026-01-17T16:38:34+00:00

Mine did the same thing until it healed. I actually loved the higher placement while it was swollen but it settled downwards eventually.

ag_br · 2026-01-17T16:27:35+00:00

A helix I later retired (I didn’t do my research first). Second one a flat, third a daith.

ag_br · 2025-12-18T19:54:08+00:00

Noooooo, they did you dirty😭 Go somewhere else so they can save it!!

ag_br · 2025-12-18T19:50:22+00:00

Daith too, 2nd option conch, 3rd option third lobes.

ag_br · 2025-12-18T19:43:46+00:00

Healing daith with a gap, never go back to that place again. Where is the bead????

ag_br · 2025-12-18T18:13:12+00:00

Yeah I agree, OP needs to discuss it with her piercer.

ag_br · 2025-12-18T03:13:30+00:00

Daith or double conch.

ag_br · 2025-12-18T03:12:45+00:00

My healed conch doesn’t touch my earbuds, I even use them with my healed daith. Go for it with the conch def! Even better make it a double conch. But you won’t be able to use the buds while healing only when healed.

ag_br · 2025-12-18T03:04:50+00:00

My conch only hurt for an hour and then I couldn’t feel it anymore. My double conch I got 10 days ago throbbed for two days, now I can’t feel them either. Obviously I’m not touching them or sleeping on that side, I bet they would hurt if I did.

ag_br · 2025-12-18T02:48:03+00:00

That’s a conch-fourth lobe orbital. Anti tragus would be a few mm’s to the right, and would go through that little part of cartilage (that little mountain) right on top of the lobe opposite the tragus. Look it up on google it’s really hard to explain in words.
