How Long Will It Take For My Helix Piercing To Heal?
I have a piercing that's a little but swollen and nippy in pain. I also feel quite dizzy. It could be exhaustion though as I haven't had much sleep. Should my helix piercing not be healing now, it's five monts old and never seems to get better, it goes in cycles of being fairly I'm then flares up.

hi,
if it has not healed in 5 months then there are 2 possibilities.
1) long standing infection.
2) allergy or irritation to the material of the piercing.
either way you have to get it removed and try again after sometime with a different material.
