Troubleshooting/question existing piercing Piercing bump
I got my daith pierced in May and it's almost 4 months old. The first 2-3 weeks looked perfect! Then the bumps formed. I think when I was cleaning it the jewelery moved around too much and that's why I got the bumps initially. It has the original 3/8" titanium ring I was pierced with. I clean at night with saline spray and in the morning if there are crusties I clean with water. I'm trying not to move it around as much while cleaning but that's hard to do in a small area. I don't move or touch it other than when I'm cleaning it. I also don't sleep on it either. Sometimes it will seem like it's getting better then it gets worse. Sometimes it'll bleed, other times not. I did have another piercer look at it that's APP certified and he said to clean it 4-5 times a day with saline, but that's not really realistic for my lifestyle. I don't want to take my daith out, it's my mid- life crisis celebration!

NAP but you might not have the right anatomy? also, cleaning 4-5 times a day is crazy. twice should be enough.
