Ear Piercings

Hiya! I’ve got a few questions and I’ve done quite a bit of research and found mostly conflicting information so hoping someone can help! :))

Firstly, I got my conch done about 2 weeks ago, i’m wanting to get a helix done on the same side and waiting about 2-3 months in between, would this be ideal or should I wait longer?

Second, I’ve had my first and second lobes on both ears for years, I stopped wearing jewellery for a while ( they never closed tho ) and now anytime I put jewellery in they seem to get really irritated and sometimes even look infected. I always clean my jewellery in between uses when i’m taking them out regularly. any tips on how to help this?

TIA!! 🩷✨
