I've had mine done for 10 years & I hardly ever wear jewelry in it. Take the earring out while you're at school, it won't close up that fast. Try to find a very small earring that isnt noticable to wear while you're at school. Claire's & Walmart are good stores to look for small earrings.
Got my cartilage pierced 4 months ago. I had a keloid, so I switched from the surgical steel that they pierced it with, to gold. It's a hoop. Red and swollen. Keloid is gone and there is no puss. Is it still healing and just irritated? Or could the hoop be too tight?
You can take it out but removing and reinserting it often can cause infection and definitely will irritate the piercing. The best thing to do is to remove the jewelry and get it redone after sports. You should still try to use a retainer. Try a glass lip retainer. One with a flat end.
Pain and discomfort are part and parcel of getting the cartilage pierced with a piercing gun. The piercing gun user knows that they are not allowed to pierce ear cartilage with a piercing gun. Properly done cartilage piercing done by a professional body piercer would have been healed by now. The swelling is due to the stud backing being too close to the skin and not allowing the piercing to drain or breath properly.
When your about nine months but i had mine pierced a few hours after my birth but nine months is recommended age
The lady who pierced my ears said 4 months
If u decide to take the piercing out, it will have a very small hole that u can barely see, then after about 2 or 3 months u won't even be able to see that u got it pierced.
Very quickly. You're not even meant to change the jewellery until 3 months, so it wont be healed properly yet. As it is cartilage and there is no blood, when you take the stud out the hole will start to close immediately and it may hurt to get the stud in after a few minutes, so it would probably only take about a week or so?
the youngest is 2 months old
It depends on where it is pierced. The lobes can take about 3 months to completely close up, where your cartilage can take 6 months to even a year to completely close up. It also depends on how long you have had the piercing. A piercing that you've had for years can take years to close (in my personal experience).
6 months
Yes.
Cartilage is a tough, flexible tissue found in the human body, such as in the ears and nose. An example sentence could be: "The cartilage in his knee helped cushion the impact of running on hard surfaces."
