I got my tragus pierced on Saturday and am now experiencing a lot of crusties around the piercing. I have been using Dial antibacterial foaming soap twice a day and Dragin Mist Topical Spray 5 times a day. There is also pain but I think that just might be because I have been pushing the ring upwards while cleaning it, and also to avoid the ring getting stuck due to crusties. Is it normal to have the ring get stuck in place by green-ish crusties while it is dry and to have pain during cleaning? It is also red and very sensitive to touch. It even hurts when I move my face a certain way. I am worried it may be infected but also have in mind that this could be a normal part of healing.
Help!
