"A Problem Page For All!"

My tragus is healing up pretty well. It hurt a lot less than I expected, but still stung for like a day afterwards. It doesn't affect the way i sleep or anything, which has happened before with piercings I've had, so I'm quite pleased about that.

I have to keep the titanium ring in for 3 months before I can change it.

I've heard peppermint is good for anti-swelling too, but no I've not tried it. I tend to just leave my piercings well alone, and clean with plain, boiled (but colled down) water each day. It's worked in the past!

For my bellybutton I actually bought contact lense saline solution spray and that way excellent. Just sprayed it on, cleaned it a bit and it kept infection at bay.

I'd like to get another hole in each ear. I've had all my ear piercings (except the tragus) done with a gun and I've never had any problems... I've heard though that body piercing and piecrings through cartilidge and bone should never be done with a gun though... I think it's just a case of whatever's best for the individual really.
