Cigarettes And Suicide:
Ooh, tragus piercings are fun... fiddly litle bastards.
As Ruby said, dunk a cotton ball (not q-tip, they're too small) in salt solution and hold it up against your ear, gently wiping and turning the ring a few times. Keep changing the cotton ball and do it for about five minutes, twice or three times a day.
Tragus piercings are pretty notorious as far as infections go, so if you're concerned about the cyst go have a doctor check it out. Cysts normally don't go away by themselves, they can shrink and then get big again, but they don't normally just disappear, so your choices are either removing the jewellery and having it surgically removed, or living with it (which can be painful, but as far as I'm aware, pretty harmless). Just be aware that most medical practitioners really hate body piercings, so tend to be fairly doom-and-gloom when presented with a troublesome one - if their advice sounds legit, take it, if you think they might be overreacting, take it with a pinch of salt and make up your own mind.
But, as I said, cotton balls or absorbent gauzy stuff should suffice for salt soaks, remember the solution should be lukewarm/warm rather than hot, as hot water will only serve to irritate the piercing.
i've been doing it with cotton pads yeah! soaking them in the solution and then holding it to it.
i just gave up on actually trying to submerse it in water cause it's way too hard.
will using the cotton pads eventually make it go away? cause i've been doing them for about a week and it the cyst has gotten far smaller but i'm just wondering if it will ever fully dissppear.
and thanks to ruby for the advice too! |

Any advice I can give her?
She's doing it secretly so she probably can't do it professionally.
That's a real easy way to get a groody infection if u don't kno what the hell ur doing  |

I was going to get my lip pierced but my boss said she'd disown me. (I'm real close with my boss) I'm just a tad scared of it because you're more prone to oral infections. |

Posts: 2532 | June 3rd, 2007 at 07:00pm i have my tragus pierced and it has a little bump thingy around it. my aunt told a guy at a tattoo parlor about it and he said if you take, i think it was vitim b liquid pills, and put the liquid on your ear twice a day the bump will go away in a week. what the hell is wrong with my ear...? i dont know if its cause i didnt take care of it or cause the tattoo parlor wasnt clean. i found out AFTER i got the piercing that its not exactly known for being sanitary... |

The only thing I know is that you have greater risks of the roots of your teeth decaying and gum diseases. It doesn't really seem worth it, does it? Hah. |

I have both my tragus's done, my ears done twice, my nose my labret, my tongue and my nipple pierced. I did have my navel done but I got bored and took it out.
I also had a web piercing in my left hand:
But sadly, I had to take it out because my skin rejected it. Surface piercing are hard going. Like with any piercing theres a 50/50 chance either way, but because your hands are constantly in use and susceptable to germs, its a higher rate of rejection.
Tomorrow, Im going to get both my conches (inner ear) done. |

Posts: 498 | June 4th, 2007 at 11:33am I pierced my eyebrow myself but I went and got my lip done because I was too chicken to do that myself because I heard it hurt a lot if u didn't numb it properly. I would really like my bridge pierced does anyone know wether that hurts a lot or not because if it doesn't Ill just do it myself or have my friend do it. Im not a big fan of pain.  |

Uhm... it takes between 3 to 6 months to heal fully. As long as you keep it clean, try not to have too much friction on it and not play with it...God that sounds dirty, you should be okay.
But everyones different, meaning some people heal faster and others not so much. |
