Cartilage Piercing Question ?

Question

I got my cartilage pierced a week ago and I've been cleaning it 3 times a day and twisting it. However, it's swollen and a little red and I have a throbbing pain in my ear. Also, I have 3 bumps behind my ear, more so behind the lobe. What could it be?

Answer 1

i also got a cartigage piercing a week ago and my piercer told me not to twist the earring and to clean it just twice a day. if it's really swollen and throbbing and really really painful, then you might have an infection. or you might have a keloid.or something.

look it up and go talk to your piercer.
