How long did your piercings take to heal?

[ReckItWralf]

I’ve just had my Daith pierced this morning.
Have wanted it done for months and months but never got round to it and was shitting myself about it too
I LOVE it so much.
I’ve already taken some Ibuprofen as it aches like a MoFo.

I’ve just left it on mine for a good while

I cleaned mine with a cotton bud dipped in salt water (don't clean the front and the back with the same bud)

Thanks all, I’ve soaked it a few times with soapy water and the blood has gone.
No one mentions how itchy it is though as it’s healing! I have to use a cotton bud or hair grip to rub lightly in my ear.
Forgot the piercing was there last night and used my finger, won’t do that again!!

My Daith took 6 months to heal properly so that it didn’t ache if caught or touched. It was the most temperamental of all my piercings and I have more than 20

20!
Wow! Which was the most painful to have?

I have two in my helix, pierced about 5 years apart.

First one healed within about 3 months. Second one has given me constant grief - 18 months on and it still occasionally sweeps up into a big pus filled lump at the back

Yeah why do the puss filled lumps keep coming back?

I get one on my top helix at the front though it leaks and goes down then comes back. It’s a year old. The one underneath done at the same time is fine.

My snug was the most painful closely forllowed by my daith.
