Back in May I went and got my tragus pierced, lately it's been kind of sore, and has been bleeding a little inside of my ear.. I would go to a piercer.. but I've yet to see ANY here where we are stationed.. so, advice? should I just keep on it with the salt water?

If your ok with long distance i'll pm you my tattoo place's (the place I go) phone number to call they are super super nice. I can't help you and it's really a last resort I suppose if someone can't help you on here. Otherwise look up a tattoo place in your phone book or online close to you and call them, they can give you some good advice.

sorry i can't help more, i had mine done when i was younger and ended up cutting the ring with a clippers and taking it out because it got so bad.

 personally if it is not infected then I would keep it in. . . That is just me.  My daughter is an apprentice piercer and told me that about my wrists.  However you could be allergic to that metal... yes you can suddenly become allergic in just one spot of you body like your ears.

 you should also get some vitamin E to take daily as it helps promote healing.

oh no! I figured you were overseas, but it was worth a shot. You don't really have to go in just give them a call. There is also a great tattoo/piercing group on here....

i used to be a member and they were really great about answering my questions. or else....

lol that's the tattoo place I go to they do piercings, you could always send them a message via myspace. I mean I know I'm stretching here but I know exactly how you feel.

or just keep bumping, was it healed and now it's doing this? or did it not heal and now it's getting worse?
**I know the myspace may seem a little over the top right now but if your going to be there for a while it wouldn't hurt to have a tattoo place on hand to ask questions to**

Thanks for trying to help =) Thats all I'm asking for! as for if it was healed or not, I'm not sure.. but I didn't have any problems like this before like a week ago.. I'm not sure if it's just an irritation from shampoo or something.. but I do NOT want to take this puppy out! I love it way too much =) haha.

Whenever any of my peircings act up I just do a warm salt soak. Try and see maybe some dirt got in and is irritating it.

I think it should have been healed by now. Maybe something got into the hole and irritated it or something. I would wash it with some antibacterial soap like dial.
