Had my ears done wednesday last week

they were fine for the first few days, but since sunday they become slightly tender to touch, i have been turning them twice a day and applying anti septic but i think the TCP liquid is making them worse
i have been advised to just turn them maybe once a day and leave them alone

they arent bright red and no puss is coming out, i just thought i wouldnt feel anything after a week or so

anyone help?

you hae to remeber that u have a wound in your ear, there is spli skin etc etc its an injury, some people are mroe sensitive then others...u saying its only sensitive and nothign else....that seems fine...if u think the antiseptic is causeing problems discontinue use but take extra care to wash ur ears and dry them properly to curb an infection...I haev 6 piercings and gave up using the antiseptic half the time and the must I have had is slight soreness occassionally and sometimes slightly red (navel) lobes are generally good....just twist them once ish and keep them clean and dry...u shoudl twist but remeber...its an injury and twisting can slightly aggrivate it.
