Is my Ear Infected????????????

Question

i got my cartilage pierced a few weeks ago, and for a couple of days it has been painful to the touch and it is a bit swollen. ive been using hydrogen peroxide to clean it. would that be okay?? what would you suggest me to clean it with??

Answer 1

you're ear's not infected, don't worry.

hydrogen peroxide is fine.

it's only hurt and swollen because it's a new piercing.

since you got your cartilage pierced, it'll take longer to heal that an earlobe piercing. don't worry about it. just relax.

Answer 2

well I just got my second peircing this summer, and i went throu the same thing for this peircing  and my first one too. Its not infeccted, its just sore and will get better but might take a few more days.

I suggest you use rubbing achohal  and when if you take it out put in some too, but dont be suprised if theres some gunk on it, thats normal too
