Tragus:Problem?

eeloe

I've had my tragus done for nearly two years now, and just lately, i "THINK" it might be rejecting?

It's not really sore, but it does look to be moving out of my ear, ever so slightly, often, i might get a build up of dead skin around my tragus...which i quickly clean away and apply some moisturiser to the area, but a few days later, it re-appears.

Has anyone had any similar problems?

I really do love the piercing, and i don't want to have to remove it!

It could be just migrating rather than rejecting. It's common for piercings to move themselves to a better spot where it finds itself more naturally comfortable, and it rejects if it migrates too far.

Treat it with salt water solution to keep it in good condition and it'll eventually settle itself

if it's migrating nothing aint gonna stop it. head to a professional piercer and get them to take a look for ya

Yeah im gonna treat it with some salt water solution till the new year when i get a chance to get it looked at!

Thanks for the replies guys!

Chances are, if it is migrating, you won't have anything to show a piercer in the new year. In most cases once a piercing starts to migrate, there's not a lot you can do do to stop them.

Am i best off to take it out so? as if it migrates too much, and grows out, i'll have a bit of a horrible scar!

If it looks like its going to grow out then yes I'd remove it. Scarring will be a lot less and it will be a lot easier to repierce it once it heals up.
