Reddish Ear, Slightly Swollen. Used Salt Water, Savlon Cream. Is This Normal?
Hi. I stretched my ear from 6mm to 8mm and noticed it has become a little red and slightly swollen compared to the other ear which isn't stretched. Is this normal and will go down or is it infected? If it is infected, what should I do? I have bathed my ear in salt water and the piercing also and put savlon cream on both.

Hi,
Nothing to worry,
While stretching ear there might be having some stretching of ear cartilage giving rise to this problem.
Do ice-pack for 5-10 minutes for 2-3 times a day.
Within a day it will be alright.
Ok and take care.
