I got my left conch and right tragus pierced on my 18th birtday last week.
I've beeing doing sea salt soaks every day.
What else should I be doing for aftercare?
They're not sore unless I bump/touch them them which is a plus. :D

Sea salt soaks are all you need to do. And try not to touch, play with, or sleep on them (unless you can do so without pain or discomfort; I've always been able to sleep on my conch). Don't get freaked out if you develop a bump near the piercings, this happens all the time with cartilage and can be cleared up with salt soaks.

Thanks for the advice.
My piercer said after 4 weeks I could come in and change the jewelry, but should I wait longer?

Would sea salt soaks help a bump that's been on my industrial for
almost a year?
