Answer 1

Answer 2

it sounds like to me its just irritated try not to sleep on it and till its not sore anymore. when you sleep on it will irritate and make it really sore to even touch. just keep it clean and don't sleep on it for a while.

when i got my left cartilage done as soon as i got it done i slept on it and i didn't have that problem at all i think everyone body is different.
