I got my ear lobes pierced in a second place a week today. I have been cleaning them when I wake up and before i go to bed with a warm salty solution. Both my first hole piercings, which were done seven years ago, and the new right one is fine, it just itches every so often but I do not touch it as I know this is just part of the healing process. However, my left ear is swollen slightly although it is not red, there is no pus or bumps and it does not hurt at all. I haven t been lying on it and it hasn t been knocked. I am not sure what is wrong with it. Will the swelling go down on its own or do I need to do something?
