Cartilage piercing
Ok I have my cartilage pierced and it's beel pierced since the end of May. I ran out of the cleaning stuff the store gave me and now it's infected and swollen. I was wondering what I could use to clean it. I have hydrogen peroxide and isperyl alcohol (not sure if that's what it's called). Would either of those work or should I use something else? Thanks! I rate!

Maybe give some free advice about: Injuries?
Go buy more cleaning solution. And put some bactine or something on it to help with the infection.

One part lemon juice one part tabasco.

Go back to where you got it pierced and I'm sure they'll give you another bottle. If they say you can't have one for free, ask if you can buy it. They'll most likely give you one. Hope I helped you! :D

PS. Write me if you need anything else :D

You should get some more of the cleaning stuff. It's your best bet, because it's been working since May, right?

when i got mine pierced they said not to use anything but the stuff they give you...hmm i forgot what the stuff's called that u clean it with buttt its something having to do with contact cleaner...but juss go back and get some more or ask what u can get to clean it with...mine was infected and had a big bump for the longest time..and its still sore and ive had mine for...11 months lol its cuz i changed it too soon, but dont play around with it a lot and dont touch it or move it...either than all that i dunno what else to do...oh yeah if u have a bubble like i had, they say not to pop it but if u can, do it cuz thats the only way it'll go down...mine wouldnt pop and it was there FOREVER!!!

Try using sum rubbing alcohol, and let it soke in there and after the rubbing alcohol is gone make sure to put sum water on a cotton ball, to get sum of the alcohol out.

hey. you can use alcohol or peroxide....it will work or just run to walmart and get some ear antiseptic at the jewelry section that are for piercings on ur ear.. TatteredDreams you're not suppose to use peroxide on any body piercing...it eats the skin from wut i heard but i hope ur piercings are okay now.. when i got my bellybutton i didnt use that or alcohol and yeah so if u ever get ur bellybutton done..dont use peroxide or alcohol on it. Take Care..Hope I helped! x3 SweetStar.

hey DONT use the peroxide!! very important trust me!! take it from the gurl who had here eyebrows pierced and used peroxide to clean it, #! it got even more infected #2 it hurt like a witch and #3 it closes up your hole.... thats what my piercer told me so im just letting you know. but what you should use is rubbing alchohol or just go to the store that gave you the solution and buy more.. :) hope this helps!!

try plain old rubbing alchohol... might hurt a little but it will get better faster

But yes alcohol works the best
