I think the scarring is definitely coming from when I'm sleeping. I woke up this morning and one of my ears had dried up blood all around the piercing. I'll try changing to a barbell and hopefully that will work.

*Picture Below* I'm assuming this is scarring at least. It's a bump on the top of my piercings (both ears, 16g CBR), and I cannot for the love of god make it go away. I've been SSS'ing twice a day, and then I switched to 1 SSS and 1 chamomile tea bag compress for 10 minutes, and I've been doing the chamomile tea for a ...

It's right next to the piercing, swollen, likes to bleed and leak yellow / clear, and I've been SSS'ing but it's not getting better at all. So whats hould I do? Keep SSS'ing or something ...
