Answer 1

It may be because it's a cartilage piercing; they can hurt more. Keep using slaine water to clean it and visit your piercer again. They can check there's nothing wrong with it and will be able to tell you if you can use any products on it, or if you've just got o wait it out. Keep in mind that cartiligous ear piercings can take up to a year to heal.
