Piercings

Amanda • I'm 23,from Massachusetts and a senior in college majoring in nursing.

Hey everyone, I just got the triple forward helix pierced last Thursday and I was wondering if anyone else has it or has something similar. I read online it is most prone to infections and swelling usually occurs for 2-3 weeks and takes 8-12 months to fully heal. My top piercing is infected and I was wondering if anyone else's jaw has felt tight due to the infection. The top picture was when I first got it done. The bottom picture is it now with the infection. Advice and comfort needed!
