tragus piercing and playing rugby
On december 30th i got my tragus pierced on both sides. rugby reason has started and at practice my ears get banged on alot and they bleed and they have a bubble on the inside and outside of both ears. would it be okay to change my piercings into a post? Im scared if i try to change the jewlry i wont be able to get it to go through cuz of the bubbles. ive been wrapping my head in pre wrap and tape to keep them from getting dirty but then my ears are a crusty bloody mess afterwards and i think if i had a post instead of a big hoop theyd get hit alot less. is this a good idea?

Use salt water to sterilize and do it often and you can probably save the piercings, but with them being beaten around and whatnot- you need to put a stop to this immediately before you damage your ears worse than they already are. If you feel this would be difficult then remove the piercings. You can always get them done again later provided to don't allow them to be damaged until too much scar tissue builds up.
Good luck.

Definitely change them to high quality bars, yes. Have a piercer do it for you if you aren't comfortable doing it yourself.
Those "bubbles" are probably hypertrophic scarring - I've had them on a few piercings. They're very annoying, but they do go.. it just takes quite a long time.
Also, do sea salt soaks 3 to 4 times a day, for about 15 minutes each time. Just hold it over the piercing - it helps a lot.
Oh. and do not pop them!
Any other advice needed about piercings, let me know!
