i was reading an article about hypertrophic scars that mentioned steroid injections on friday and i thought i'd have a bit of an experiment. i have a tube of hydrocortisone cream at home for a skin complaint i get from time to time, so i battered some of that on the raised area on both sides of the piercing before going to bed... the next day the bubble had halfed in size. i put some more on that morning & then again before going to bed & its pretty much flattened out now.
just thought i should share that with you | |

So far I've battered my phone off it, my earphones don't fit in my ear now and I tried to sleep on it without any joy. | |

I got mine done last week - I've had to resort to wearing really old crappy headphones until the swelling goes down. I've been able to sleep on it no bother, though, which is nice, and I rarely bash it or anything. I can't get my stethoscope in my ear though which may pose a problem...  | |
