Swelling and pus....now just pus

[r0cker91]

Straight to the point: I recently tried plugging in 6's because my smart a** got overexcited about making it to the big stretches(I did this gradually, no skipping sizes for me). There was some bleeding after a day of having the 6g plugs in and I downsized back to 8's right away. The bleeding went away a couple days after but my ears were still swollen and oozing pus like mad. This was around the beginning of June, and I had no sea salt to use so I just kept my lobes and the plugs as clean as I possibly could. As of now, my ears are still oozing a little bit but they aren't that swollen anymore(sea salt soaks 3x a day). Am I on the path to getting my lobes healed? The pus is keeping me in suspense lol

I'm pretty much 100% sure it's lymph, not pus. If it was pus you would have other signs of infection like extreme swelling, bright redness, yellow/green pus, maybe even a fever. Just keep doing the sea salt soaks and never touch/move/twist the jewelry for any reason. Also, make sure your soaks aren't too salty! 1/4 teaspoon per 1 cup of water is the perfect amount.
