Cartilage piercing, after a year:random infection. What to do?
-
I got my cartilage piercing last year july, so its been almost a year kinda. I took its out for one night night last month to play rugby and forgot to put it back in, and putting it back in was like repiercing it almost even tho it was fully healed before. since then its been a little itchy sometimes but doesnt hurt too much, today i was playing with it and it got abnormally swollen within 3 hours, its never been this bad. My aunt told me to take it out so i did and started to clean it with rubbing alcohol, i relaized after that was bad and then soaked it in salt water a couple hours later, im wondering if i should leave the earring out before i sleep or put it back in. I DO NOT WANT IT TO CLOSE but i dont want it to permanently swell either. what do i do ?

Answer:
Congrats, not only do you look like every other unimaginative indie douchenozzle out there, but you have what is probably a foul smelling infection in your cartilage as well. Win/win!

I would go to a piercing specialist that deals with cartilage piercings and ask if you should have the hole checked out by a doctor or if you can take care of it at home (and then of course what you can take care of it with). i've found that claire's and icing's ear care cleaner works extremely well with these types of infections since its designed to clean and prevent infections in piercings. and even if a piercing does develop an infection, it helps to clear it up faster (especially when you use peroxide at the same time). hope this helps a little! and i also hope that your ear will return to normal!
