How do you know if your tragus piercing is infected?

If its been swollen, discolored (red/purple), or itchy for more than 2-3 weeks. Or if the drainage from the piercing is a dark yellow/greenish color. It could just be irritated if its red and swollen. Go check with your piercer to be sure.


Is it normal for back of carlige to turn purple after piercing?

Yes it is. Any discoloration with a new piercing is fine. Especially since cartilage piercings are extra cranky. But, if the discoloration lasts more than 2 weeks, go see your piercer. You can go check with them now if you just wanna be sure too.


What should you do if your two new cartilage piercings won't turn without causing extreme pain?

Dont Worry You Need To Head Down To Your Nearest Piercing Parlor And Get Yourself Some Ear Care Antiseptic, Your Ears Are Not Infected All Ear Piercings Hurt For The First Few Days, Weeks Even Months, Just Remember To Keep It Clean.Answerit maybe be that your ear is swollen and is really tight on the piercing or that your skin is too dry and is sticking to your piercing as you turn it. if they're swollen it may be a sign of infection or it could just be part of the healing process -- i can't tell you without seeing it, so you'll have to determine for yourself. if the skin is red and purple and swollen...it's probably in infection. try washing them in the shower using an antibacterial hand soap. i suggest the softsoap brand, it's my favourite. I've also heard that using a warm salt water wash will help with swelling, healing or infection related. odds are, if it's infected there's puss in there and that, along with swollen blood vessels, is putting too much pressure on the jewelry for you to turn it without pain. have you tried using a lubricant? sometimes the skin is just too dry and it sticks to the jewelry. i hope there's something here that'll help... AnswerThis happened to my most recent cartilage piercing, i have three by the way. if it is dark colored, almost purple, put sea salt in as hot of water as you can stand, let it dissolve, put 5 or 6 cotton balls in the water. Take each cotton ball and hold it over the earring (fold it over your ear) and hold it there until it gets the slightest bit cold. do that two times a day and it will clear right up

Can i dye my hair after having your cartilage pierced?

Well, you CAN, theoretically, but you'd have to be insanely careful. Getting bleach or chemical dye in the open, unhealed piercing would be horrible for it. I'm assuming this is a new piercing? I have purple hair and I have to re-dye it every few weeks or so, and so far I haven't had a problem. One time I was careless and although I did not get dye on the piercing itself, I got it on the surrounding skin, which irritated my piercing like a mother! Point is, let a professional do it if you must, just be incredibly careful. Or even better, wait a few weeks until the piercing has had more time to heal. The last thing you'd want is to irritate the already tender new piercing further. If it's an old piercing then I guess never mind!


Is it ok for there to be purple around the piercing site?

The purple could actually be bruising from the tattoo procedure. If so, then this is normal. But keep a watch on it and if the purple color does not go away soon, then you need to see your doctor.
