I got my cartilage and lower ear pierced last Wednesday a total of 4 piercings, everything was going fine it was a little sore but it swelled and started stinging I posted a question yesterday asking about some ways that I could stop the swelling and pain, I tired peroxide-rubbing alcohol and bought some ointment I woke up in the middle of the night last night and my ear was the size of a orange, I took out the stud and clean it, as soon as I took out the stud blood started gushing out, I cleaned it and debated if I wanted to put the earring back in I came withn 3 inches of my ear and I knew it couldn’t be done- the pain is unbearable. I went to the doctor and she injected me with a shot to stop the pain it worked for about 5 hours and I’m back to pain (it feels like my ear is falling off).She also put me on antibiotics. I probably sound really dumb at this point for even considering getting another piercing but how long should i wait to pierce again after the swelling and infection goes away?
