Daith Piercing (and other cartilage) Healing – Week 2
Week 2 – The Swollen Week
My daith piercing healing during week 2 wasn’t as great during week 1. It wasn’t terrible, but week 1 was simple, and week 2 contained red ear and swollen-ness. I think it’s because I drank glasses of red wine one night and must have slept on that ear, which irritated it afterwards!
That Swollen Feeling
OMG, it was itchy too!! I just wanted to pick at it, and I was trying so hard not to pick at various parts of the ear. The itchiness was very bothersome (worse than week 1), so I scratched some spots around it and not the direct piercings itself.
More Crust and Blood
The swelling lead to some leakage, not much, but slightly noticeable. Showers and rinsing water all over the ear helped a bit with that as the water softened up the crusty bits and such.
Daith Piercing Healing Toward the End of This Week
I took more photos of where you can see both ends of the ring. My ear felt so much better toward the end of week 2. Such night and day in comparison from the beginning. It does get slightly irritated here and there, but I also feel so much better about keeping my hair down as well. No snagging in comparison to week 1 to any of these piercings.
Keeping it Up
I do get urges to scratch or to see how the piercings feel, so I’m taking so much will power not do that that (much), and keeping with the LITHA and saline spray. Let’s see how week 3 / 4 goes!
