Cartilage Piercing
Ok so I pierced my ear last Saturday...it swelled up so I took it out on Monday of last week and they said it would be ok to re-do it on Friday...So I go in on friday and they recommended to give it another day. I go back on Saturday (yesterday), and she re-pierces it getting just my cartilage. It swelled up the first time cause they got the very edge of the nerve. So right now, its really red and it looks like its gonna swell up as bad as it did last week. I've been cleaning it as the instructions say, havent been sleeping on it, and it hurts like hell when I put the antiseptic on it. Am I doing something wrong or should I continue and ignore the swelling and pain?? This is the first time i've ever done this so I have no friggin idea what to do so help me out please

Maybe it's the metal? If not, then some people just can't get their lobe or cartilage pierced.. maybe try the other ear?

Well this happens and it will probably hurt and be like that for a good month or so.. i find it normal cause it happen to me and all my friends who have had it done.. from experience thats the piercing thats really hard to keep clean and keep it from hurting.. if the pain becomes unbearable i would take it out and leave it alone.. ♥ Dez

you shouldnt have taken it out the first time but since you did you should have waited at least a month before gettin it repeirced because now u have a huge hole. also dont take it out this time. its probably gonna hurt for about 4-6 weeks. i should know because i peirced mine the worst possible way to peirce it. i did it my self. now it doesnt hurt that much only when someone hits it. dont take it out and just contiue to clean it and not sleep on it. i hope i helped.

Hey!
I definitely agree with Howyoudooin, you shouldn't have taken it out. You only had it for 2 days, so I don't know why you would've? Your ear just wasn't used to the cartilidge piercing being in your ear, that's why it got all swollen & irritated. The same thing happened to me, and I waited a week after it swelling, and it eventually went away.
This time I think you should deal with the pain & swelling, because it WILL go away. Make sure you check that the back isn't TOO tight, because that could be why, or the earring you have in your ear your allergic to? Or maybe not. That's what happened to me the first time I had my cartilidge pierced.
Wait ATLEAST a month. If it still bothers you, you should take it out & wait a couple months, or get your other cartilidge pierced.

shouldnt have took it out, it swole up becouse there was ripped tissue and now that they repierced it they made the hole even bigget and damaged some of the already healed tisue. they sohuld have warned you not to take out the earing for at least 2 weeks.
washing it out two times a day willhelp it from getting infected. DO NOT TOUCH THE EARING OR TAKE IT OUT
oo yea, u proly got infection in there
