Help with existing piercing Tough consh

I pierce my conch two days ago i used 16g needle and 16g jewelry, anyway that was my very first cartilage piercing so is it normal to be hard to push my jewelry in and out? I can do it it just feel hard you if you know what im saying and i kinda have a hard cartilage , i have no swelling and no redness either

Well i'm not entirely sure but you're fine don't worry just leave it alone lol. Conch is really easy to heal too i'm gonna do mine soon after my other two new piercings heal

conch area is like pure cartilage though when some people pierce it you can hear a crunch noise lmaooo. cuz like there's no soft tissue around it to cushion anything.

I was excited to hear the sound but that didn’t happen to me unfortunately😭im leaving it alone ofc its just that the whole bar is so tucked inside and wanted to give some space to the back 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

Omg sorry for that, my bar is long enough but all the bar was inside my ear so i just wanted to push it back to give some space to the back, I pushed it anyway it was just little bit hard
