I had 2 lobe piercings on 25th February, no major issues at first. Carried out cleaning as directed (still am). After about 3/4 weeks my ear felt hot and a bit irritated. I couldn't get back to my piercer for a check as that was when the restrictions began and everywhere closed down.
At times my piercings look ok from the front, no redness or irritation but the backs are still tender then everything goes all red and hot again.
I chose gold studs as I have a known nickel allergy but I'm wondering if the labret backs might be causing the irritation and making the area at the back swell up? It's only been 6 weeks but I'm wondering if anyone has any advice on what I could do or try?
I use saline spray as advised by piercer, I then bought prontolind spray which seemed to help for a while then the irritation and swelling started again. I've also been using sea salt (obviously not all together).
