hi guys i’m back with more conch questions!

to preface: i just got double conches 2 weeks ago to add to my existing collection. i have 14 other healed piercings, including two healed conches, so ive been through the experience before - however, its been over 3 years since my last piercing, and my frontal lobe has developed since then, so a lot of things i think i wrote off the first time around are becoming more concerning.

the trouble started monday - i had been bonking my topmost conch piercing with my glasses and i believe i may have slept on them as well. 

monday and tuesday i had some pretty nasty swelling, i was cleaning with neil med spray, taking ibuprofen for the pain and otherwise LITHA.  

last night the topmost conch was oozing and bleeding pretty significantly. swelling was bad, things looked bleak and i resolved to find an APP member piercer in my city to take a look in the morning.

this morning, i woke up to no pain, less swelling and redness and no more gunk. in fact the only thing i am feeling is the classic itchy healing sort of feeling, which is where i was last week. i am still thinking i need to go to a piercer and have then lengthen the bar to prevent this from happening again - but i figured yall might have some insight too. 

how normal is this experience? am i totally overreacting? should i stick with my plan or is something else recommended? 

thank you guys in advance!!!
