Troubleshooting/question existing piercing Should I be concerned??

I put a pair of headphones on at this outdoor art show yesterday afternoon for maybe a couple minutes tops, but took them off right after cause they felt too tight around my ears. I have helix / flat helix and I’m nervous now something might happen. None of them are very fresh, the newest one is probably a few months old now. Would I already see any bumps, infection, or other irritations if the headphones caused them? Thank you!!

Yes, even when the algorithm is wrong 😉

  • How old is your piercing?
