snug piercing bumps
I got my snug pierced almost 2 months ago, together with a forward helix.
after the initial swelling went down, it formed 2 huge piercing bumps, which I've now had for over 1 month, with no sign of calming down.
it is also my first time seeing a snug pierced with a ring, so I'm wondering if I should downsize. the ring often gets caught in hair and clothes.
I've asked the piercer about it, and he said I don't need downsizing and to apply an anti-inflammatory ointment.
i have many other healed cartilage piercings (many helix and conch) and I've never had bumps this bad.
I'm worried it might be infected, and removing the jewel might "trap" the infection in the wound, with the surface skin closing before the cartilage.
what should I do? is it really wrong to downsize?
I would love to hear other options.
