What is normal during the healing process?Updated a year ago

It is normal to experience the following after a lower lobe piercing:

• Tender to the touch. Avoid sleeping on your piercing if it is tender.

• Moderate swelling

• Redness

• Some bleeding or oozing. A small amount of blood is normal and can be the body’s response to the piercing process, causing a small hematoma.

• The helix piercings tend to be sore for a longer period of time, which is completely normal. They also take up to a year to heal.

Please follow the aftercare instructions closely!
