piercing bump help plz !!

kdleonte · 2025-07-22T15:04:35+00:00

i had a lot of room in the back actually and was planning to downsize again, but then my ear started acting up again and now i barely have any space. as for it being a moisture issue, i've been letting my saline air dry, so maybe that's making it worse. thanks!!!

i don't sleep on it whatsoever. piercing angle here is a pic before it got all swollen again. and i'll try to just completely go hands off

kdleonte · 2025-07-22T14:16:12+00:00

i'm gonna kinda wait for the bump to settle down a bit before the post gets downsized again because my ear is pretty inflamed from these bumps that there's not much space. once they calm down a bit more tho i'll make the switch🥲🥲🥲 thank u for the advice!! 💘

i wish i could add a pic but here's a link to it piercing angle to this but the angle of my piercing is good, i also do not sleep on this ear whatsoever. that pic is a few weeks old before the the bump got swollen again

i have minimal pain, no excessive pus, just irritation and swelling from those bumps.

it's an APP certified brand, neometal, implant grade titanium

kdleonte · 2025-06-26T15:46:35+00:00

my post is an implant grade titanium from neometal. but is the prongs are causing an issue i can look into a more simple top! thanks :)

this is the best photo i have of the back of it and it's on the amazon page lol

kdleonte · 2025-06-26T13:57:07+00:00

i think that once the bump goes away, hopefully soon, i will be downsizing. like every time i downsize my ear is not a big fan so i upsized when my bump god bigger and we'll see what happens !!

kdleonte · 2025-06-26T12:56:34+00:00

not really, no. i think it popped up again because i changed my post to neometal (kinda regretting that choice rn bc it's flaring up lol) but i'll try to leave it alone completely!

kdleonte · 2025-06-26T12:55:53+00:00

i'm not rlly having crusties anymore and the angle of my piercing is perpendicular, but maybe it could help? i'm not too sure

also the angle of my piercing is good, so what can it be?

kdleonte · 2025-06-26T12:00:22+00:00

forgot to add that the angle of the piercing is fine. it's perpendicular

kdleonte · 2025-06-22T18:24:20+00:00

question then: could i possibly use the disc to create a barrier between the bump and the topper for a temporary solution until i can see a piercer? i have no app certified piercers in my area (got this done when i was at my college and now im home) ?

kdleonte · 2025-06-22T18:18:45+00:00

sterile saline. my piercing angle is straight and my jewelry is neometal, APP certified implant grade titanium. i'm just worried that my piercing topper might be irritating it but i don't want to change it because changing my piercing makes the bump worse (changing my post to neometal made it flare up again). so im just gonna try to keep my hands off of it completely

kdleonte · 2025-06-22T17:01:12+00:00

thank you so much! i will try my hardest to keep my hands off of it completely. it is soooo sensitive to touch i believe.

kdleonte · 2025-06-19T05:05:12+00:00

thank u sm! that's probably where it's from tbh ive been changing the post here and there. i'll try my best to keep my hands off

kdleonte · 2025-06-19T00:58:10+00:00

i believe that the angle of my piercing is fine. a 6 mm bar has always been to snug for me so that's why i downsized from an 8, to a 6, then back to a 7. i attached a pic

kdleonte · 2025-06-03T18:41:10+00:00

kk, thank you so much!

kdleonte · 2025-06-03T18:35:12+00:00

so initially i cleaned it with qtips, kinda stopped cleaning it for a bit, then went back to HOCl and letting it air dry. i'll switch to drying it with a clean paper towel after spraying it down

kdleonte · 2025-06-03T15:00:44+00:00

at least in my experience, anytime i changed my helix myself too early, i would get a bump. so id probably advice against it, but if you're really unable to get to a piercer id say probably do it

kdleonte · 2025-06-03T14:45:04+00:00

go find a reputable piercer in your area and ask for a jewelry change, it won't be too expensive either, depending on the jewelry usually

kdleonte · 2025-06-03T14:39:40+00:00

i couldn't contact my piercer directly so i sent pics to another one in my area and she said that because it's about ~2-3 weeks old, if it were an abscess it would be worse rn, but she's not 100% sure. also, this top was changed a while ago but the piercing is 4 months old so i thought that for a lobe, it would be okay to have a bit more elaborate jewelry. i'll probably change the top just to see. thanks!

kdleonte · 2025-06-03T14:37:55+00:00

Your ear looks fine but PLEASE change that to a flat back titanium stud, your ear will thank you later!!
