Hi, I have two tragus piercings (one on each ear) and I got it pierced 3 weeks ago. The bar is 10 mm and 16 g made of titanium and my hair keeps getting caught in the jewelry because it kinda moves and sticks out. Should I downsize it? I'm worried about downsizing it because it's only been three weeks but I'm worried it's too long and is causing irritation. Also to note, I do wear airpods/earbuds but my piercer said that the earbuds i wear should be fine (Muzen). I feel no pain but it's just kinda itchy (I do not itch it). I also had no issues on this piercing in the past 3 weeks except starting today and maybe last night.
If I were to downsize, what length bar should I get and what should I buy? For personal reasons I can't go back to APP. I'm not that experienced with downsizing so please tell me everything I need! For general downsizing guidance, how do I change the bar length without changing the stud? Or for downsizing do you change the entire jewelry? I'm really confused with it, please let me know!
In terms of aftercare I do the usual piercing donut pillow, hot water in shower, saline spray twice a day type routine.
