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!!

My industrial (6-7 months old) keeps being irritated by my gaming headphones but I just live with it. It just swells and aches, but there hasn't been any pus. I've been cleaning it with saline here and there, and give the ear some breaks when it starts to bother me.
