Industrial piercing questions?
i got my Industrial pierced two months ago. its still a little red and only hurts when it gets hit, but im worried about it because theres a bump on the bottom part of the piercing but it doesn't hurt and theres no puss but the top and bottom piercings are always really crusty every morning. what should i expect? is this normal? when can i change it? and should i go see a doctor? also the top piercing is hard and hurts if i press on it too much whats with that?
thanks so much if you can answer! :)

mine was peirced two months ago as well and the same stuff happens to me :)
Bumps are common with cartilage piercings...I'd recommend putting emu oil, vitamin E oil, or diluted tea tree oil on the bump twice a day. You have to do it religiously though because it can take awhile for the bump to heal.
You shouldn't change it until it is completely healed - they can take up to 6-9 months to be fully healed.
No need for a doctor...and if you do have problems, you should go to your piercer first.
normal. keep clean 3 times a day with saline solution(contact cleaner),warm water mixed with ati-bacterial soap(dial) or sea salt
