Is this normal or infected?

Question

I got these two helix piercing done 2 days ago. But they are bleeding so much, is this normal? Should I clean the blood around my piercings or leave it alone?

Answer

Clean it and use salt water. 
See, When I got my helix professionally done (any piercing really) .. I was told to keep it clean with salt water / saline solution , and to twist it twice a day AM & PM before bed; so it won’t stick to your tissue ; because if it gets stuck then it’ll become painful and most likely permanent. Permanent as in you can’t move it twist it or take it out. 
See. I didn’t listen when I got my nose done for the 2nd time ..  (All professional piercings)  I kept it clean but didn’t twist it at all bc of stories all different sort of stories Ive heard , I guess I wanted to see different but .. it ended up getting stuck , it hurt to touch it clean it twist it even trying to take it out hurt. Crust would form outside it and underside , my tissue started to form to my piercing. It was the worst. That’s why they always tell us to be sure to clean and twist your piercings. Just for its healing process , once that’s over.. then you don’t have to worry about twisting it. Every piercing I had , I’d clean and twist it any chance I could remember to , and never not once did they get infected or stuck to me.

Answer

It looks normal. Clean the blood. Keep it as clean as possible. If you took ibuprofen, it could thin out your blood and make you bleed more. So if you have pain, take acetaminophen. ￼

Answer

yea clean the blood. and twist the piercings. are you sleeping on them, hitting them often or something of that nature? that may be why they are bleeding so much. as long as it doesn’t seem infected then it’s likely fine just try to be more careful and they need to be cleaned especially because of the blood but even then it still needs to be done if you don’t want an infection
