another day another daith…

[u/ke_hai_na]

Hey y’all sorry for subjecting everyone to another post looking for some advice on a grouchy daith piercing. Specifically looking for opinions on whether it might be too shallow or not?

Asking because I went to my piercer today to downsize an unrelated piercing, and when she looked at my daith, she mentioned that it may have migrated to be too shallow, but that she’s having a hard time telling because of the bump. She followed it up by saying if the bump doesn’t go away in 3 months we may have to re-pierce it. At the end of the day, I trust her, opinion, but I’m just really anxious because I really don’t wanna have to go through getting this thing re-pierced, but I also love it and want to keep it.

Here’s the lowdown on the piercing’s info:
• First picture is the day of piercing (1/1/2026)
• Second picture is the worst the bump looked (5/15/2026)
• Third picture is the most recent picture of the bump from today (10/17/2026)
• I’ve had the same captive bead ring in the whole time, so no changes and no downsizing
• The captive ring is implant grade titanium from LeRoi which I bought in the piercing studio with my piercer
• I’ve been cleaning between one and twice a day with either water running over it in the shower or spraying it with a saline spray that I bought at the piercing shop

My piercer did suggest my skin looked a little dry and recommended trying to clean it with just water instead of saline spray for the next three months to see if that helps it. I’m open to any other suggestions in addition to input on whether it looks too shallow or not.

Thank you!!
