    On a random note, I had a dream last night I lost my tragus piercing. Funny.

    I forget what it is exactly... some kind of irritation I believe. Make sure you have proper jewlry like titanium. Your body may react badly to cheaper metals. Do not over clean it but continue to mildly clean it. Also, you can try a hot compress on it for 10 minutes 3x a day. When I had an irritated piercing, that worked absolute wonders.

    Of course the best option, though, is to go back to the piercer, have them examine it and they'll know the best course of action (or at least they should, and if they don't never go back there :p)
