I got my rook and orbital conch pierced on the same day. It didn’t hurt but after a week, my rook is starting to give me some problems. It hurts like hell and the area looks very irritated, inflamed and it’s quite sensitive.

I never had problems with the others one after a week so that’s why I’m wondering if it looks ok? If it’s healing well?? I don’t think there’s sign of infection but I’m not sure. Moreover, I think my piercing might be small since I can’t see the bar anymore with the inflammation, again, not sure.

I’ve been cleaning it 2 times a day with antibacterial soap and warm water. 3 times a day with sterile saline water. My piercer told me to use topical vitamin E to help with hypertrophic bump, which I used on the others one before but I haven’t used on this one.

Thanks.
