they say salt waters the best wayy.. gettin mine one this week ha. Use a sea salt and warm water solution to soak your piercing. You can also use a gentle soap to clean it while in the shower.Don't use Dial though. Its much too harsh
You dont need to. I'm 15 and I've had my cartilage pierced for about a year and a half. You just need parental consent.
Clean it according to the guidelines on wiki.bmezine.com
If the piercing was done with a piercing gun then that should answer the question.
Clean The Wound With Anti-sceptic Cream, TCP, Warm Salty Water Or Whatever You Used to Clean It When You Got It Pierced. Then Just Leave It. If It's Still Swollen And Stinging In A Week, Get It Checked Out.
Cartilage is just that. It hardly contains any blood vessels. That is why there is very little blood when this area is pierced.
If it's just been pierced, then that's normal :) just make sure you clean it properly (your piercer should have told you how to clean it), and don't take it out
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 have two cartilage piercings. Unless they are joined by a barbell or they are blended or layered in some way to get a desired effect, you just have two cartilage piercings nothing special, no fancy name sorry.
Cartilage!<3
There's no reason you "should" get your cartilage pierced. It's obviously not generally necessary or even desirable, medically speaking.It's not especially dangerous, provided that the person doing it observes some minimum standards of hygiene, but that just means you can do it without worrying too much about an adverse impact on your health, not that you should do it.If we're talking ears, the only reason is that the piercing is less likely to be accidentally torn out if your earlobes are fragile or exceptionally thin.
You can almost get any place on your body pierced how you want but some piercers may not have the skill to do cretin piercings, you will have to ask you piercer if he/she will do that for you, but yes, it is possible.
That is nothing unusual. It is most likely just puss coming out of the whole. You should clean your earings and ears when this happens.
