Why Is My Tragus Swollen And Tender To The Touch? How To Care For It?
I got my tragus pierced on Sunday and it's swollen and tender to the touch. I've been cleaning it everyday with the reccommended h2ocean spray and saline solution both but it doesn't seem to be helping. Should I be worried? How should I care for it better?

Hi,
It seems that you got infection on ear pricking site.
Go for one antibiotic medicine course for 3 days.
Clean the part and apply antibiotic cream.
Ok and take care.
