Years old forward helix piercing is sore I’ve had double forward  piercings for about 7 years now. The last week or so the uppermost one has been so sore.

It has anatometal jewellery in it, I think titanium. Never had a problem with it.

About a week ago it became so tender. I think I slept on it, usually I sleep on the other side. My one year old keeps accidentally bashing it and it’s agony. It’s not weeping or crusty. It’s not even swollen, just SO sore!

What’s the recommended care in this situation? It’s been so long since I’ve had an issue like this in any of my piercings. Is it a case of just leave it alone and try and avoid any further trauma to it?
