I have a 6 month old helix piercing, and I’ve received enormously conflicting advice about whether it’s safe to swim or whether I should wait another 6 months. I know it takes a long time for the cartilage inside my ear to heal fully, but the skin is completely closed- there hasn’t been any bleeding in months. So how is it that it could still get infected? Doesn’t the skin protect against that?
Thanks!!
