Piercing update

Well, after my grizzles a couple of weeks back, I've managed to effect a miracle cure of my "keloid" by doing salt water soaks daily, and anointing with hypercal cream initially, and then manuka oil and honey gel (eh, I prefer the glass jar it's in now to this new "100% recyclable" packaging) in the morning, and jojoba oil at night. I could make lots of money patenting my "cure" for those of African descent or other ethnicities that suffer from keloids. Not.
The cartilage is still somewhat puffy, but that's ok. Cartilage does take a while to heal, especially since I keep sleeping on that side. I'm just glad that the mis-labelled lump has gone, the piercing itself is no longer being compressed by the annoying jewellery, and I can keep it properly clean.
