cartiladge earring
I got my cartilage pierced in august, and I didn't have a problem with it until now. Everytime I take the earring out to try and put a new one in, it seems like the back of my ear scabbed over in the 5 seconds that an earring wasn't in. I have to push the earring in, and eventually I get it in, and it's usually fine. Today I changed it again, and I tried to put a new one it-a post hoop, and I couldn't get it in cause it hurt. Then the back of my ear started to bleed a little. Does that mean it's infected? Or just irritated? Should I take the earring out and let it close up, or is it something that will go away? What should I do? I don't want to take it out. Thanks

I got my 3 hole pierece last june and the stupid thing would stay infected, (with puss) and they were sore, and scabby. I never took mine out, and now their finally healed completely...Your ear might just take a long time to heal. And to keep it from getting worse dont change the earring because each time it infects it an irritates it even more.The best kind of earring to keep in the hole is surgical steel. Just leave it alone and every night before you go to sleep or just when ever you think about it, put alcohol on it and turn the earring, sooner or later it should just clear up.

I had that same problem with my ears to. Just leave the earing out untill the scab goes away, its prabably not infecteded(when my scabbed it wasnt infected) but still go to the doctor to see. If there is no infection then just keep it out for a while and dont pick at the scab.

Well clean it everyday..and dont change your earring for a while.. dont change it real offten.. if the earring is fake or something you might wanna buy real ones.. but if you decide to take it out and close it isnt going to close right away so if it heals you'd be able to put the earring back in and it might hurt a little bit.. hope i helped..~*DEZ*~ Thuggirl041790

You really shouldn't be taking it out at all.
August was not very long ago, and cartilage piercings take a while to completely heal. It's not like a normal ear piercing.
It may be slightly infected, but that doesn't mean you need to just take it out.
It means you need to be more clean and careful with it. Clean it at least five times a day with piercing solution. Don't use alcohol or peroxide, just use piercing solution. Try to turn it each time you clean it, but make sure your hands are very sanitized, and you wipe all of the gunk off the earring before you turn it. If you don't wipe that gunk off, then it could get inside the piercing hole and infect it badly.
If it starts to puss then it's a good thing. It means that the bad part, the infection, is draining out of it.
You don't need to take it out, you just need to stop taking it out at all. Never touch it unless you've disinfected your hands and are going to be able to clean it for a while.

its only infected if it like hurts alot and stuff but i think that its just a bit irritated and you should prolly use some really nice earings like real gold or real silver. thats wut i use and then just try to leave that good earingin for a while and if things dont get better try to use rubbing alcohol to clean it out from infection.
but it might sting a bit but that natural.it means its doin its job!
hope i helped

Most of the time, cartilage closes up. It gets infected easily. You should be fine. You might not be pushing your earing through the hole, but maybe a millimeter away from the opening. This might happen for a couple of months. My ears still tend to slightly close even if it is a few seconds. Don't worry about it unless it gets worse. Continually clean it everyday in the morning and at night. If it does get worse or infected, see your doctor. Hope I helped!
