Answer 1

The tragus piercing is a tricky piercing to heal. Is yours hard to the touch? And swollen and sore? Welcome to the club. The only thing you can do it just do your soaks and keep it clean. Also try not to sleep on it as that bothers it. I got mine pierced 2 months ago, AGAIN! I had it pierced once but I took it out due to a job and I had it in for over a year and it still hurt on and off at random times. So just hang in there and keep cleaning it.
