Is this normal for a new cartliage piercing?

Hey I just got my cartliage peirced like two days ago and it still really hurts, especially when I knock it it takes hours before it stops throbbing. it is also slightly swolen. is this normal? is there anythig that I can do to help with the pain?

Answer #1

That’s perfectly normal. I had mine done about 5 months ago and it took a good 2 months for it to stop hurting. I couldn’t even lie on it sometimes. But they look so pretty, it’s totally worth it!

Answer #2

yupps… all my friends that had their cartliage pierced, had the same prob… I wouldn’t noe tho… cause mine arn’t pierced… all I’ve heared is to not touch it, and as long as you keep it clean with alcohol, you should be fine =)

it sounds normal yes right now your body still trying to heal the wound si its going to hurt a bit, but should stop within a week also I hope you didnt get it done with the gun as that will probably make it heal less quickly the guns are horrible, people who use them have no trining and they only wipe it down to clean it so that thing has peirced hundreds of other peoples ears in that day alone for now your just going to have to handle the pain, be sure to clean it as well but dont over-clean it or constantly handle it

Answer #5

you could take some pain killers for the pain, and when you get your cartilage pierced it takes a lot longer for it 2 heal than a normal piercing on your ears would because its bone and all piercings swell up after they have not ong been pierced, and it may even be a little more swollen than usual if you have noked it, so theres nothing to worey about just make sure you keep it clean
