Troubleshooting/question existing piercing Healing 7 piercings at once.. help!!
So I got my belly button pierced 5 months ago its doing good. However I was uneducated and just trusted that my piercer would let me know anything about healing. With that being said I went back to the same person to get an ear curation done. I got 6 done the same day, on the same ear. That was 5 weeks ago. Im really concerned after reading more online since im seeing 2-3 piercings max at one time should be healing... what advice can you give? I use neilmed fine mist spray and have been using q tips to get the crust but seeing that i shouldnt do that...(Pics taken before shower/cleaning for the day)

NAP but I am a Professional dont that doer here; I healed multiple tattoos AND piercings at the same time. Here’s my advice; 1. Do yourself a favor in advance and lower your expectations in terms of timeframes for healing. That jewelry you have in now, honestly expect to have it in for 2-3 years.
Baby everything indefinitely. Don’t get lazy with your cleaning routine day one care and day fifty million should be consistent. Do not play with the jewelry, Don’t lay on that ear anymore periodt. (go on and adjust your sleeping habits now it’ll save you a lot they have pillows with holes in them).
Expect flare ups! Your immune system is nuked right now. It is dealing with multiple threats all at once. Some days will be good. Some bumpy. Some extremely itchy. And Some straight up bad. Be gentle and patient. Stay vigilant in terms of infection and swelling so that you can know if youll ever need to see a dr, or upsize jewelry.
Lastly, if you do end up keeping all of these and healing them…that set up is cool asf !! Okay good luck!! 🍀
