Ok so its not my gauges, but my cartilage.
There's a bump on the back of it and it looks like a big puss bubble and it hurts like all hell. I snagged on my shirt as I was getting dressed and then I think I might've touched it with dirty hands or something. I've had it since.... October I think? Haven't had any problems with it before so... I dunno what to do.
All I know is I'm not supposed to take the jewelry out cause the hole might close up and trap in the infection. I've also been soaking it in warm water and salt soaks.
Any advice?
