Suggest Remedy For A Bruise On The Lobe

Hi, I just got my upper lobe pierced (two on the right and one on the left.) The one on the right, it s above the first one that I got when I was younger. (Sooo the first one on the upper lobe, not yet cartilage) it s showing bruising. Is this normal or should I be worried? Thanks, Cassiee.

Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you should get done chest x ray to rule out internal damage in the lung.
If chest x ray is normal than no need to worry much.
Keep the bruise part dry. Apply betadine and neosporin on it. It will start healing in 2-3 days.
Avoid rubbing and itching on it.
