The infection is almost the same as the picture of your infection. I have an Industrial Piercing and despite Lockdown I did neglect my piercing and in fact, I acted contrary to all guidance I played with the piercing, was sleeping on it, picking at the scabs etc…little wonder it got infected. I prefer you contact me through Facebook since I don’t get on email thanks! Got any advice I’m also thinking about getting a tongue piercing and a navel piercing. I got my right nostril pierced 12 weeks ago and they said six to eight weeks and it STILL has the bumps on the inside of my nose and outside I’m thinking it will eventually go away like my double helix bumps did but it’s very aggravating I’m 17 and a junior in high school and someone has pointed it out the bumps have gone doenjoy but with a larger piercing/ more painful one I’m not sure if I want to risk the bumps again like with all of my piercings and it get really infected like yours got. I am thinking abouto getting and industrial bar on my left ear like yours and I’m nother sure if I should get one because my piercings don’t heal quickly and I get those bumps on everything single piercing I get I got my double helix about seven months ago and it’s just now starting to stop being sore and me being able to change them. If you’ve had a scaffold, tragus or have any questions please let me know in the comments. If I could go back knowing what I do, I’m not sure I would go through with it. Seriously though, if you are considering a scaffold think about it for a few weeks before you go ahead with it. So how am I going to celebrate finally being healed? I’m going to get a tragus piercing in my opposite ear. The piercing sites are slightly red, but there doesn’t appear to be any scarring and the lumps have gone now, so that’s a relief. I was utterly relieved when I took out my old bar and there was no discharge from either of the two piercings. It has taken me almost the full year to get to this point. Last night I changed my bar for the lovely wave pattern bar I bought 9 months ago. Not to mention the many many courses of antibiotics I’ve taken over the last 12 months. I’ve spent countless hours making salt solutions, camomile compresses, tea tree soaks and sitting in the unimaginably uncomfortable position known as the “hunching over a cup trying to bathe your whole ear” pose. I experienced multiple infections – at one point I removed the bar on the advice of a doctor, only for my symptoms to become a thousand times worse. I thought that I was prepared for the long haul, but I really didn’t expect my piercing to cause me so much hassle. I was told that a scaffold piercing usually takes 3 months to 1 Year to heal. I did a lot of research before I decided to go for it, especially because I have an underlying health condition. This type of piercing is notorious for being painful and prone to infections. If you want to know more about my experience getting the piercing and the healing process you can read my earlier posts here. Almost exactly a year ago I decided to get an industrial piercing (also known as a scaffold piercing in the UK) a scaffold piercing (I”m British)is where two holes are made through the outer ear cartilage and linked by a bar.
