Anyone wanna do anything today?

the weather is crazy hot, and i don't have any plans but thought it would be a waste to do nothing!

I'm 20M I'll be free after work around 5. let me know if you're bored too! my dms are open but feel free to reply to the post as well!

also just to be clear I don't have any plans or activities and I haven't even been living in Lowell that long, I'm just happy to meet people we could just get ice cream or something lol

I got one lobe piercing in each ear about 2 months ago. The healing has been going perfect I've run into zero issues. After the initial piercing I had essentially no swelling and almost no bleeding or anything either.

I got them downsized a little over a week ago and suddenly yesterday one side was totally swelled up. I don't think it's infected or anything but I have no idea why it's swelling all of a sudden!!! I was hoping it would be gone today but it's about the same.

I'm just very worried about it eating the piercing but also I'm not sure what to do from here and I would of course rather not go back to put the longer bar back in if I don't have to.

Any advice on how it looks right now, and what i should be doing would be greatly appreciated! I plan to just not touch it, clean with saline 2x a day for the time being (I usually do once a day), and hope it goes away!!!

(Also sorry if the pics aren't clearer but it was the best I could do 😔)
