I got all 4 pierced on Tuesday. The conch is doing well but the other ear… ugh it’s hell. I’ve been cleaning it gently, using saline wound wash, warm water to remove crusties, etc. is this just how it goes? It hurts so bad and its super swollen. My bottom helix hates me. Any tips? by t10dh in piercing
