Why is it susceptible to infection? Share on Pinterest A tragus piercing is particularly to infection while healing. Any piercing results in an open wound, which can take around 6 to 8 weeks to heal.
Similarly one may ask, how do you wash your hair with a tragus piercing?
Flip Your Hair To The Side: Being careful to ensure that your hair isn’t snagged on your piercing before doing so, use momentum to flip your hair to the side opposite of your piercing. This should allow you to wash your hair without getting any water or product on your ear.
During the entire healing period you want to avoid rotating the jewelry. This is because if it scabs rotating the jewelry will rip that scab and disrupt the healing process.
Beside this, why do I have a bump on my tragus piercing?
Unfortunately, bumps are relatively common with cartilage piercings. They can form soon after your initial piercing or long after it’s truly healed. If you still have a bump after the initial swelling subsides, it may be: a pustule, which is a blister or pimple that contains pus.
