I got my cartilage pierced about 4 days ago and the first couple days it was fine. It only hurt to sleep on it and if someone touched it. I was told to clean it twice a day with alcohol and to twist it around. I did everything I was told, but it started to kill last night. I woke up this morning and it is extremely swollen, red, and it hurts so much. I don't have a clue what to do. I put a bit more alcohol on it, put some neosporin on, and twisted it a little, but it's still not better. I tried to take it out for just a second and then I was going to put it back in, but it hurt so much when I tried to take it out, I just stopped trying. I really like it so I don't want to take it out and have it close up on me, but I'll do whatever it takes to have my ear feel better. Please let me know if anyone has ANY advice whatsoever. Thanks a bunch!
