Welcome to Gaia! ::

I got a second industrial bar, it is in my right eat now I have two that cross each other.

And it hurts like a OMG. >=/
My first one didn't swell or bleed but this one, it's swelling and it bled.
And it is really sore.

I have never had a piercing swell before, currently I have thirteen, sure they got a bit puffy but it wasn't as swollen as this.
Anyone have tips to make the swelling go down?

I just got it done, and I clean all my piercings twice a day.

With this new one I soaked it in warm salt water to draw out any bad germy stuff out, that had me in an awkward and uncomfortable position. then I used anti bacterial soap and cleaned it out thoroughly, then I soaked it in Bactine.
It is doing a lot better now and the swelling is gone.
I guess it was trying to get infected?
Or maybe it was just fussy cause it was new?
Anyway my ear is at a normal size and I can move the piercing without cringing or yelling curse words.
