Hello all.
3 weeks ago I got my ears pierced at 4g. Healing has gone well for the right ear, but the left ear is a little troublesome. First off, I don't believe it is infected. There's no discharge or anything like that and no pain. However, it seems that every time I clean it it swells up for a bit afterwards and turns a little red. It doesn't really get hot though and again it's not painful. When I wake up in the morning the ear feels fine, if only just slightly more swollen than the right one. It seems to get irritated after I clean it and/or touch it. I'm not really sure what to do, is this normal? I've been soaking in sea salt once a day and then washing with Dr. Bronner's soap twice a day. How long can I expect this to last (if it is normal) and what can I do to get the swelling to stop occurring?
Thanks
