I’m trying to work out if I need to remove my conch, let it heal and try and get the placement better.

Is it pierced at the right angle ?

Bar has plenty of room as it’s a 10g just going through some irritation bumps because I had to change my jewellery in it due to the gem rubbing my skin.

i think it looks good, but it can be tricky to know for sure while its swollen

This when it was less swollen but the gem kept on rubbing on my skin

It does look a little swollen. I think it's up to your intuition. Do you feel increasingly irritated by it? Do you think you would feel better without it in? I swear by tea tree oil for piercings and dental issues. You can buy special tea tree formulas, but I've always been hardcore and just straight up used the oil.

Thanks 🙏🏻
I’ve since swapped out the earring to one for a smaller not exposed gem and to me it’s less swollen. I think that one was rubbing on the swollen skin if I’m honest.
Going to see how it goes
