What Causes Swollen Ear After Tragus Piercing?
Hi. I got a tragus piercing about 2 months ago. And just yesterday my ear became real swollen. I went to the place where I got it done and told me to apply crushed aspirin on ear for the swelling to go down. Im starting to freak out now, it hurts real bad.
