Answer 2

i got my cartlige done a few years ago....it actually stayed soar for about 2 months, it wasent bad but if i slept on it weird it'd hurt it

Answer 3

For a cartilage piercing to COMPLETELY heal takes about 6 months. It will stop hurting a few weeks after you got it pierced. People's body's are different and heal differently,so it really depends on how well you heal.

Answer 4

maybe your being too rough on it...i just had my industrial done about a month ago, it was sore for about the first week, but now its usually just sore when i wake up cuz i accidentally sleep on it :-(...the best remedy for soreness is a sea salt soak...you should be doing that 2-3 times a day for 5-10mins...remember 1/8 teaspoon of sea salt, per 8oz of warm water, and 8oz is all you really need, i just fill up a regular bowl and stick it in the microwave for 45seconds then toss in the sea salt and dip my ear into the bowl, then dry it with a paper towel...also i use provon medicated soap to clean mine while im in the shower, and ever since i started using provon my ear hardly ever hurts...just a few suggestions :-)
