    I had a very mild infection in my navel piercing a couple of years ago. The irony is that over the course of today, one of my lobe piercings out of the blue swelled up and started to ooze pus. Definitely infected and having a blast.
    Great video!

Just be careful after it disappears bc if you irritate it even a little bit the bump comes back. I’m on my 3rd cycle doing this process and i regret touching my ring bc it was already bump free for a week and a half :(

    There was one time I was bitten by a bug (we don't know which bug) and I noticed the redness spreading. I let my hubby know, as well as my dad, because the person closest to me that could take me to the er the next day would be him. Well... it was definitely infected. Not only did it spread, but red tendrils began going down my wrist and up some of my arm. That is a HUGE sign to seek help. My dad and I didn't go to the ER, just an instacare where they prescribed me antibiotics for a week. It disappeared in half a week. Basically, what I'm getting at is exactly what she said. If there is a spread, a good idea is to use a pen to mark where the redness stops and check back every hour to see if the red has gone past the pen marks, or if the marks are spreading (which is easier to see if you draw a circle, as it'll warp the circle). It's also always good to know where your insta and urgent cares are, as it is a much cheaper way to receive much needed help and prevents the ER from getting booked.

    I’m not sure if mine is infected or not... I did it about 4 days ago, everything was perfect.. it did hurt a little but to me that’s just the healing process. Then yesterday, my sister hit me in the ear really hard and made it bleed and That’s when it started getting super red, swollen and super tender. I’ve iced it. I’m just not sure if it’s infected or if it’s just because right got hit..

If that makes sense, when I switch earrings they hurt and I have a bump behind them, and I don't know if it's a keloid it hasn't grown in size but it doesn't go away, right know it's crusty in the back but it doesn't have gross discharge, what do I do?

    I got an earlobe infection when I put clicker earrings in and it started tearing the hole. I’ve had these holes done for 15 years or more. And I had to loosen it. Hoping it will heal. I’m on antibiotics and ibuprofen. Jewelry was just put on last week but holy shit I’ve never had pain like this from any piercings and I’ve had plenty. So for it to be on my lobes from hugger clickers it’s strange that it was tearing my hole!

      If there’s yellow discharge and you’ve been bumping it, that might be a sign of infection or it’s getting really irritated. My previous cartilage piercing infection start out like yours. I didn’t know about the infection and had to get it drain out later on when it got so worse and eventually go to urgent care for it. You should start using tea trea oil now. Use like 1-2 drops on a wet cotton bud and let it stay there for 10-20 mins like how long she leaves her solution in. And clean it with saline solution 2-3 times now. Be extra careful and try not to get it caught into things. If it doesn’t get better in a week or so definitely go to urgent care before it spreads so you don’t have to take out the piercing later on. I had to remove mine because it was so bad.

      Mandee XD Piercing bumps can form for a variety of reasons, poor care being one (but not the only). Since cartilage piercings can take up to a year to heal, bumps can form early on or even after several months. Keep up with the cleaning, it can take a long time for bumps to go away completely.

    • @bev-
      @bev- 5 лет назад +1

      bumps don't always mean infection! I've had my double helix for about 4 months, and i clean them pretty well by soaking it in warm salt water twice a day (sometimes once a day if I'm feeling lazy). everything was going great until I visted my family members who constantly bumped it and touched it, so my ear got angry and bumps grew a few days later, and had a whitish discharge accompanying. I continued to do the soaking my ear in warm salt water for 10 mins twice a day and the bumps are gone but it took about a week or two of consistently soaking twice a day.

    I’ve had my double helix and flat cartilage piercings for 9 days, and they are bright red, swollen around stud, and oozing clear pus. I called my piercer and can’t get in for 2 days! I’m in so much pain! My Daith and Tragus in both ears done 6 weeks ago had no problems . I can’t believe how much trouble this double helix is. I’ve only used the Neilmed after piercing care mist, and done everything correct. I have a travel pillow, so I don’t sleep on them. So not sure why this is happening. I have a feeling if he would have just done the hoops, instead of studs, this wouldn’t be happening. There’s no room for the swelling. I asked if he left plenty of room for swelling and he said yes, then this happens. I just hope I’m ok with this situation for a couple more days. I think a piercer should squeeze you in for an emergency like this. Not make you wait 2 days.

My right ear (I believe is totally fine but I wouldn't know) can be pushed and prodded, it's very mobile, whereas my left barely is. For the first couple months, I did clean them every day and then in the last two months I've cleaned them like twice a month. I haven't changed out my earrings at all, even though I have attempted to change them three times. Is my left ear infected?

    I got a triple love piercing and I put in cheap time and true earrings and a week after it was still swollen and angry.and I cleaned it with tea tree oil 2 times a day it helped my nose piercing but it didn't work for this one. So a couple days ago I put in a good plated stud I got pierced with at walmart(it was my first piercing I was 13 I didn't know) it never got infected. So I changed one of the triple lives out (because I lost the other one) and it isn't angry tender and pusy. But the other one with the cheap price of poo is tender red and irritated. I'm gonna wait a week to switch it to the gold plated just to make sure it is fully healed. The triple love piercings are 5 weeks and 2 days old. I'm still a noob on piercings even tho I have 8 now and I'm learning as time goes on. all my piercings was from a time span of the ages 13 to 15. wish me luck and have a wonderful day!

The clear replacement wasn’t a clear earring it was like an outer casing for the earring to go inside (from Claire’s) and the stem was too short with the backing so I bought actual clear earrings from Walmart and it worked fine!

    Hi, I need some advice from anyone :((
    I got my double piercings done 4 days ago, the first two days it went perfectly fine until the third day, the left one was so itchy that I tried to change the earring (big mistake), the other one wouldn't go in, so I put the other one back, it obviously went really swollen and red.
    Today it was "better", everytime I clean them, they get swollen and red, I just turn them slightly to clean them, they've been itchy but I don't touch them.
    I haven't experienced any discharge or fever, no t even burning. I'm concerned about them because they were perfectly fine until yesterday, I've been cleaning them with salt and water...I guess they're doing better, please help...is it an infection? :((

    Anyone have any advice? I had a helix piercing done over two years ago and had problems with it from the start, swollen, red, painful, and got a fair sized keloid or hypertrophic scar (not sure which) formed over it. I soaked it and cleaned it religiously, nothing helped. Eventually the swelling went away but still had the keloid. Throughout two years it would sometimes be okay but I would have flare ups where it would be red and painful again. I eventually decided I would take it out since I didn’t want to have to deal with it for the rest of my life. I waited till it was at a time where it wasn’t irritated and cleaned it twice a day as it was healing. It looks better - the keloid has sorta gone away but the back of the piercing now has a bump and I am worried it is filled with pus and will get or already is infected. What should I do?

      I actually have a helix piercing (the first one I got back in 2016 that started my love of piercings) that wasn’t 100% healed until roughly 2.5 years after I got it. I almost took mine out, but after I actually stopped caring for it like I had been, it cleared up! Was definitely an anomaly, since I would normally never recommend stopping care.
