So here's my story:
I got my tragus pierced about 3 and a half months ago in a proper shop with a professional piercer. She used a titanium labret and for the first month and a half it had been healing pretty well. I never experienced any sort of pain, redness, swealling, absolutely nothing at all. I had been cleaning it about three times a day with Blue Wave Saline Spray as recomended by my piercer.
A month and a half passed and I started noticing my piercing was getting a bit swollen and I had a small red bump around the hole. First I thought it was infected but then I realized I didn't had any pus or pain and the area wasn't red. Just the bump and the swealling. I started using hot compresses and after two weeks the bump went away. The swealling never went down. Then, a week later the bump comes back again. I started getting verry frustrated and decided to leave it alone. It so happens that the bump went away, however my tragus it's still really swollen. It's been three months now since I had it pierced and for the second half of the time it has always been swollen. I actually don't know what to do with it anymore. Ice hasn't worked, hot compresses haven't worked. Please help me...
I guess I have a small bump appearing on the back that I coulld only see in a picture I took because I'm not really able to see it, even with two little mirrors... I don't really know what to do anymore.. =S (unfortunately I can't post images because I'm new to the forum, but I will, once I can)
