Hi! I'm going to check in with my piercer when I can, but I wondered if you might have any input.
I was doing a warm water compress on my lobes (so anticipated result: pink, chubby ears) and I noticed the actual fistula was pale white. If I left my ears relaxed, I couldn't see it at a glance, but pressing lightly on the back of my lobe made it show, for both lobes.
My lobes were pierced directly to 6mm in early September, and I've been keeping them warm and massaged since this month because it gets *cold*. I do have pretty gnarly circulation, so washing my hands in hot water usually gives me those stark raynauds fingers, for what that's worth. Is this a cold weather thing (normal)? A cold weather thing (bad)? An unrelated third, other thing where I've somehow injured my ears and only just noticed?
No photo, unfortunately - my camera equalises out the colours. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

The main question here: does it hurt? If not, you're fine. Skin does weird stuff when you do weird stuff to it. :)

They do not hurt! When I next looked in the mirror ~an hour later it was all back to normal colours again, so I think I just have funky lobe circulation in the same way I have funky hand circulation. It *looked* awful, stark white next to the (as expected) red of the rest of my ear, which is why I immediately went to question it.
