Swollen Tragus Piercing
Okay I NEED MAJOR HELP.. so I got my tragus done like 1 week ago and when this happened. So it was perfectly fine until one day I accidentally pulled it while sleeping and hurted bad I guess. Well after that night It started hurting and it got really swollen 💀. Not even when I first got it or the first week of healing has my piercing ever been swollen so I knew it was from me accidentally hurting my self. Anyways it started being swollen on the 15th which is Monday and it has been swollen ever since ,mind you it’s about to be one week. So me being human I looked up on google what does it mean when my piercing doesn’t stop being swollen for over 48 hours .. and well you already know what google told me “infection” “infection” this and that so I was like mm weird … Now this is really when I just get confused 🤔 I don’t have any other infection symptoms soo mind you again .. my tragus still swollen but it Literally doesnt hurt just the part that healing of course but it’s not throbbing and It’s uncomfortable at all. I have to check it everyday to see if it’s still swollen because I can’t feel it🤣 Like there’s not problem with it besides the swelling 😔 and it got my tragus all fat and red😭😭😭😭 like what the freak . Also I CLEAN THE FRONT AND BACK WITH Saline solution piercing aftercare.. and of course it’s been working until I caused this on me but I just really want to know how to get this swelling down because nothing else is bothering me😔🤣Also yes I still do apply it 2 times a day!!#piercingproblems #buyorbye #storytime#tryonhaul #lemon8challenge
A swollen tragus piercing can be concerning, especially when it doesn't seem to cause significant pain. Swelling can occur for various reasons, including trauma, irritation from jewelry, or even allergic reactions. It's crucial to distinguish between normal healing and signs of infection. To promote healing, ensure that you clean your piercing regularly with saline solution and avoid touching or twisting the jewelry. Applying a cold compress can help manage swelling. If swelling persists beyond a week or is accompanied by redness, discharge, or increased pain, consider consulting a piercer or healthcare professional to rule out infection. In some cases, changing the jewelry to a hypoallergenic material may alleviate issues. Always prioritize proper aftercare and seek advice from professionals when unsure about the health of your piercing.
