Got a bar in it? If it's embedded in even a wee bit it sounds like it's too short, so I'd go back to wherever you got it done and get it changed to a BCR.
Also, what are you cleaning it with? | |

Half boil the kettle and 1/4 sea salt.

You should boil the kettle and leave it to cool for a while, and just a teeny tiny bit of sea salt aye. Anti-tragus is a bit of a bugger right enough, mine took ages to come anything close to healing. I'd say just keep cleaning it twice a day and see how it's getting on, make sure you don't get hairspray/perfume etc. in it and don't play with it really. Good luck! | |
