Help!? have a question about ear piercing?

Question

i just got my cartilage pierced and i wanted to know how long you had to keep it in for??

Answer 1

It can take up to a year to heal, usually after 3 its ok to change out the jewelry, but I wouldn't recommend changing out the jewelry constantly  or at all and just wait till its fully heal.

Answer 2

I kept it in my ear for a month before changing the earring.. It wasnt fully healed, and I had to pop it back in my ear- not too painful!

But I say at least six-eight weeks.

Answer 3

Two months

Answer 4

I was supposed to keep mine in for 6 weeks at the very least, but I waited 3 months to take mine out.

Answer 5

Cartilage piercings can be tricky...mostly they take ages to fully heal. But some people do get lucky and heal them quicker. Based on my experiences with cartilage piercings- I would say six months. This sounds long, and I know other people will give you shorter time spans. But I have three cartilage piercings, and two that go through cartilage...and from these ive learned that cartilage is much different from flesh. It is tougher and takes longer to heal...some take a year to heal completely. If you take them out too soon you can get keloids and infections- therefore its much safer to wait six months to remove them.

Hope i helped you.

Answer 6

Two months @ least!!!

Answer 7

like a month or two, it won't be as bad as you think it will be. i've gone years without having one in mine, and its not even that bad when i have to push it through.

Answer 8

I kept mine in for about a year.

Thats usually how long it takes for it to heal.

Some do it less, some do it more.

See until when you can sleep on your ear.
