Are you sure it's not a blowout? Does it look anything like this?:

If you're not having any pain or other symptoms, that might be what it is. Swelling usually doesn't happen without pain, soreness, or irritation and it shouldn't linger if the wound is healed.
I'm Lindsay.
I have 1/2" lobes and 11 piercings: left helix x2, both conches, both nostrils, septum, navel, and VCH.
My lobes are small but I know a lot about stretching and how to do it safely, so message me if you have any questions!
