I had two cartilage piercings done in each ear, almost a month ago.
They're driving me mad.
The swelling and bruising went down...for about a week. They're swollen (my left ear is currently solid; it's that swollen) and the bruising has come back. They're not as bad as they were when they first got pierced but still.
When I clean them, they get so itchy. Ever had chicken pox? If you did, do you remember just how itchy you were? My ears are WORSE than that.
And I have lumps and bumps near the holes.
There is one good thing: they're not painful. Unless I smack them hard - then, they hurt. For hours. I can sleep on them now, so that's good.
But dammit, heal already!
