okay.so this could be normal, as i%26#039;ve heard it sometimes is from people with that piercing as it takes time to set into the cartillage.
or this could be the sign of something going wrong.
when i got my tragus pierced for the first time it went a bit like this and it was actually infected, however, when i got my ear pierced again on cartillage, it did this and it was only the setting process and nothing to worry about and now it%26#039;s fine.
if there%26#039;s any skin growths, try using hydrogen peroxide on it because the skin dies and comes away with no pain (i%26#039;ve used it before and i%26#039;m very experienced in piercings, it%26#039;s something i would recommend and so do many piercers)
how long has it been going on?
if it%26#039;s been longer than a fortnight i%26#039;d seriously advise going to the doctor. health insurance or no health insurance, if you%26#039;re having a bad reaction it%26#039;s going to cause all sorts of problems. get it checked out and monitor the swelling.
good luck
hope this helped :) 100% 1 Vote

Clean the area with alcohol or hydrogen peroxide and a cotton ball. Remove the earring and clean the area again. Put a piece of clean, fishing line through the opening. Tie it with a loop that is a reasonable size to handle. Clean the area again. Leave the line in and clean the wound at least 3 times a day. If it does not improve in 3-7 days, you HAVE to go to the Doctor!!! If it heals (move the string several times a day to keep it open - but be gentle), replace the earring with a different kind of metal (surgical steel post, gold, silver etc.). You may have developed an allergy to whatever you have in it now. Take good care of yourself! kjl

Maybe the metal that you wear is the cause of infection. Better change that first with a thick thread. Preferably a crochet thread. But please, before you changed it with that thread, kindly dip the thread first in a bottle of Betadine for sterilization process. Then simply drink water 10-15 glasses a day till it heals. But be sure not to eat poultry products, beef, fish, crabs, shrimps, pork, watermelon, cantaloupe, grapes and mangoes so as to help in the healing process.

Pull out the ring. If it stays it%26#039;s only going to make it worse. Swab with peroxide or rubbing alcohol 2-3 time daily if it%26#039;s not getting better with in a week go to the doctor.If you really can%26#039;t afford it look up free clinics or cheap instacares in your area. If your a student go to the local campus wellness center. Or pull out your phone book and find a Dr. willing accept payments.
