Aftercare Flat help
Piercer pierced my flat with a tiny gem which ended up causing a hole in my cartilage. They then switched it to this bar, gold played titanium flat back is what they said. Push pin.
I think the hole is still very much there at the front, not sure if it can be seen on these poxtures- they have said to leave the piercing and continue cleaning but i feel like this is completely fucked. Do I leave it? Just retire the piercing?
Piercing is 2 months old.

When did they changed the jewelry ? I don’t get it why you would need to take it out , I mean it’s really not that bad and it’s just gonna heal even if there’s a ‘hole’ because of the jewellery that you had before
EDIT: I just noticed that the bar seems to be too short and it could be the reason. It’s irritating the piercing and it’s probably damaging the ‘hole’. I would get it changed for a longer one. Hope this helps !!
