Dear Alley
2 years and my piercing still isn't healed!?

DEAR ALLEY: I’ve had my left side helix ear piercing for almost two years and it’s still not healed completely. Every now and then it feels fine then sometimes it hurts and [seems] kinda infected. What should I do?

I love my piercing and want the other side done and to get my nose done, but I want this to heal first.

Thank you,
- Mackenzie

ALLEY: Hey Mackenzie,
 
Cartilage piercings can be a real pain to heal up.
You're right that after two (2) years of heal time, your helix should be fully healed (cartilage piercings take about a year total to heal)... So let me ask a few clarifying questions to make sure we're on the right track...

My nose jewelry doesn't fit right. What size do I need?
DEAR ALLEY: I have my nose pierced individually on each side. The right side got done first, [then] the left side two (2) months later. It’s been almost 2 years now with them.

One option: try a 20g nose ring, as this will easily fit into an 18g piercing - usually, the piercing site will...

How can I make this bump disappear?
DEAR ALLEY: I have a question, I have an industrial (pierced 5 months ago), and I still have the two separate jewelry, and I created a bump in the upper piercing, what can I do to make it disappear?

And I have another question, when can I change the piercing jewelry to a barbell?

I love you,
- Beatrix

ALLEY: Hi Beatrix!

Aww!! I love you too Beatrix! Now onto your question :)

Industrial piercings are ear cartilage piercings - like MaCkenzie's question above, cartilage piercings take up to a year to heal up completely. To answer your second question, I would not recommend changing out your jewelry before that year mark rolls around, especially without the help of a professional. Changing your jewelry is a surefire way to...
