Re: Excited !

Sea salt soaks are all you need to do. And try not to touch, play with, or sleep on them (unless you can do so without pain or discomfort; I've always been able to sleep on my conch). Don't get freaked out if you develop a bump near the piercings, this happens all the time with cartilage and can be cleared up with salt soaks.
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!

Re: Excited !

Thanks for the advice.
My piercer said after 4 weeks I could come in and change the jewelry, but should I wait longer?

Would sea salt soaks help a bump that's been on my industrial for
almost a year?
