There are some people with pierced ears who simply cannot wear anything other than gold earrings. If you have had an infected ear for eight (!!) months, you should consult a licensed health practitioner before you do do anything else. And don't wear an earring in the infected ear!

Before you get anything else pierced, you should wait until your surgery has completely healed. You do not want to do anything that could get it infected.


Can you swim when you get your naval pierced?

If you could swim before you got your naval pierced then you will still be able to swim afterwards, unless it is so huge that its weight drags your to the bottom. If you have just had your naval pierced it is probably a good idea to avoid swimming until the piercing has completely healed, to avoid any risk of infection. Once it has healed swimming shouldn't be a problem.

After several months of having the upper ear cartilage pierced it still hurts. Is there supposed to be a small dent where the stud has been?

Pain and discomfort are part and parcel of getting the cartilage pierced with a piercing gun. The piercing gun user knows that they are not allowed to pierce ear cartilage with a piercing gun. Properly done cartilage piercing done by a professional body piercer would have been healed by now. The swelling is due to the stud backing being too close to the skin and not allowing the piercing to drain or breath properly.
