YEAH, I GOT IT LIKE 3 DAYS AGO,
info:
-16g SSS- (SOME NUMBER I DONT REMEMBER) cbr
-(im american so they didnt use a catheter needle)
-and FREAKIN’ ITCHY (well off and on, like it randomly decides to get itchy then it goes away then it comes back.
im using a spray-on saline solution to clean it.
- i got a true daith so its kinda hard to see the entry and exit but theres no inflammation or any visible irritation from what i can tell (with two mirrors and a flashlight)
-one little wierd thing:
when i got it i didnt feel any pain. just a little pressure, thats it. (is this a problem? because i hear theyre supposed to actually hurt.)

3 QUESTIONS:
WHY didnt I FEEL ANY PAIN?
WHYZ IT SO FREAKIN’ ITCHY?
HOW CAN I SOOTH THE ITCH BESIDES MOVING THE CBR AROUND?
Pain is personal to everyone. Chances are you have a higher pain tolerance and this piercing just didn’t cause you a lot of discomfort.
Fresh piercings are often kinda itchy while your piercing begins to heal. With swelling coming up and down it causes changes in the skin - stretching it up and relaxing it - and that can cause a prickly, tingly feeling. The salt in the saline can be a tad drying and lead to some itchiness as well.
Do not move the CBR around. That will irritate the crap out if it. If it itches, give it a little rinse off in warm water.

I’d say it’s the spray-on saline solution. I had this problem when I used cotton buds & saline to clean my fresh rook piercing. When the salt is left on my skin, it leaves it extremely extremely dry and hence it itches.
What you could do is continue your normal aftercare routine, then wash it at the sink/shower with warm water. Wait until it dries and try dabbing a bit of emu oil on with a cotton bud. I find that the emu oil really helps it to stay hydrated and help healing along (especially during the last few weeks of healing a fiddly cartilage piercing.)
