Cartialge piercing swollen?
I got my double helix piercing March 12 so it's been a month but it was healing so great and yes I did get it done with a PROFFESIONAL piercer, I use antibacterial soap 2 times a day front and back and just rinse but when I woke up today I couldn't even see any bar. She pierced me with a long bar because my cartialge is thick and also took to heal but I don't see and bar and the back is big not the front. Should I be worried?

The piercing may just be irritated, if you see that there is a lump on each side or both sides, then it is most likey a hypertrophic scar which is really common. If it is, then keep cleaning it and it should go away in about 6 months. From your description, I think you should go to the doctor as I went when my cartilage was infected and they can give antibiotics or creams to help heal it. Until then just keep cleaning it and DO NOT take the jewlery out.
