How do I clean a newly pierced cartilage?

Question

I just pierced my ears two days ago and its a cartilage piercings. The lady used a screwed on earring. It's very hard to clean because the earring wont twist or anything and its hurts a bit when i try n twist... what should i do?

Answer 1

put the ear cleaning liquid or ocean seasalt or peroxide, ocean works the best...

wait a few days and then try to turn it because you dont want your ear to heal around the earring and it wont come out. so put the cleaner on there take a deep breath and do your best to turn it even the slightest bit.

also try not to sleep on it.

Answer 2

well thats odd... just try your best to clean it with the ear cleaner or alcohol... you just want to keep it clean so it wont get infected!

good luck

Answer 3

GO TO YOUR PIERCER. you should be able to spin it. and you not being able to or having pain when you do so worries me.

you have to spin the earing or the skin will grow attached to the earing. if you don't the skin could actually grow over the earing. however you should only do this when cleaning your ear. don't play with it all the time.

as for cleaning it; get sea salt and warm water. wash your hands. put a warm cloth on your ear or run it under warm water to loosen it and try and turn it around. clean all the crust or dirt off the area.

Answer 4

DONT TOUCH IT...

you have to leave the earing in for at least a year...

dont twiddle or twist the earing arround cuz that can cause infections or scaring

dont put alcohol on it....but if u INSIST on putting alcohol....do it ever 3 days

its not infected if it pusses out white stuff or puffs up

its only infected if it pusses out blood or brown puss...

in other words.....JUST LEAVE IT ALONE!
