[quote=Anonymous]I recently had my ears pierced for the first time (am in my 40s). It's been 8 weeks. One side feels perfectly fine. The other has been more sensitive since day 1 and I feel has even worsened a bit recently. It's never looked alarming or even particularly concerning, but it seems a little swollen/red (you have to stare to see it, though I can see it), and feels a bit warm. And just kind of tingly/itchy and uncomfortable. I am going to see my doctor in the next couple days but am wondering if there is anything I should do in the meantime. I have been following all the rules very carefully, spraying with saline 1-2x per day, sleeping on a donut pillow and trying to avoid that side, not touching the ears. etc. I'm just frustrated that this side is having issues and not sure how worried I should be. It was a needle piercing FWIW at a shop that uses only registered nurses for piercings. Any advice for a piercing novice is appreciated![/quote]
