From experience, yes. You will have a tiny bump, as a scar.
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).
You can sleep with your cartilage piercing out after the ear is completely healed up. It takes about two months for the ear to completely heal.
Redness is completely normal
Ear cartilage piercing, yes and................
I believe the shark is made up completely of cartilage, such as your ear. SuperSlasher
Depends on how long you have them, and what kind they are. Piercings in the cartilage, lip and ear lobe rarely close completely, they scar while new skin might grow over the hole, the cartilage remains shattered. Tongue piercings heal quickly, because the tongue is a muscle. Dermal piercings also heal better than cartilage, but can leave a scar.
elastic cartilage supports the external ear
The pinna or auricle is the visible cartilage part of the ear.
I'd wait till your lobes are completely or nearly completely healed. Cartilage piercings take longer to heal and if your body is trying to heal your lobes AND cartilage at the same time, it'll take even longer for your cartilage to heal. So, 2-3 mths.
Cartilage is the area located outside the rim of the ear but significantly at a distance from the ear canal. Getting this area pierced is the latest rage among fashion conscious people these days. There are different types of cartilage piercing and most of them are completely safe.
The external ear is supported by elastic cartilage, particularly the auricle (pinna) which is the visible part of the external ear. This cartilage provides structure and shape to the ear while allowing for flexibility and movement.
The symptom of a swollen outer ear can be perichondritis, an ear cartilage infection caused by bacteria. Another symptom is pain. A cause for this condition can be injury of ear cartilage due to factors like cartilage piercing or ear surgery.
