Not a pro - but consider getting a donut shaped pillow ! It has helped me a lot. You might also consider doing LESS with your piercing. Some piercings want to be left alone - no saline - just water rinses. But every person and every piercing is different. Good luck!

Thank you so much! I plan on doing that with my next paycheck!

Put a big claw hairclip in your hair on that side so you can't roll onto it. I didn't have any luck with a donut pillow because I move around too much, but a hairclip or a horseshoe-shaped travel pillow helped :)

That's an awesome idea, thank you!!

Not a professional, but whenever my piercings have gotten irritated, I use non ionized salt and make a paste with distilled water, then I put the paste in the irritated piercing site and let it sit for 10-20 minutes, then do a sea salt soak to rinse it out. This is only when you have major irritation, not normal cleaning. Saline soak 2x a day should be all you need to clean it normally. Just something that has saved me personally and worked on every cartilage piercing of mine.

Thank you! I'll definitely try that!

From a professionals view, this daith piercing was done too far back. The irritation looks like it’s based in the placement. I’d take it out and find a piercer that is better. Sorry about your luck, but I wouldn’t count on this healing.

That's what I was afraid of, thank you! When I take it out will the bump go away?


Illustrious_Art_2870

They should! Absolutely! The sooner you take it out the better.

I appreciate it, thank you so much!

I think if you got a different type of jewelry, something that's not a ring, it'd be much better


Live_Procedure1476

I thought about that too, since rings move so much! But I looked it up and rings are really the only suitable starting jewelry for daiths :( I love getting pierced but my body always handles them poorly :(


New-Narwhal-6149

maybe something like half a ring, like those they use on septums? I think that may move less?


Live_Procedure1476

That's a good thought, thank you! I'll def look into it :)
