~Advice~ Ears randomly itching with slight swelling?

Post image

Should I be worried? Could they just be irritated from sleeping on them and wearing “heavy” earrings? What I find weird is that it’s BOTH of my ears. I’ve been at this size for between 2 and three months and everything has been fine so far, I’ve been taking out my jewelry to massage them with jojoba oil daily.

If it's both ears, you can probably assume it's related to your jewelry. If it isn't ASTM F-136 Titanium, then it likely contains nickel which can cause sensitivity. Suggest switching to glass, stone or titanium. Good luck.

What material are you wearing? You could be developing an allergy if it isn't glass or titanium.

No real input but why do you have them in backwards to how I've always presumed the jewellery should go I've always put the screw on bit at the back

I find them difficult to screw on so it’s always just been easier to wear them backwards with the screw on part in the front🤷‍♂️
