well i got it done at the beach and they told me to change it in a week. so i did and that when it started to get swollen not on the siter but on my ear . so i took the earring off should i just clean the site and wait till swelling go down before i put the earring back on or just forget it and let it close

You changed your earring way to early. You need to wait at least 8 weeks to change it. It sounds like you are infected now. I would put the original earring back in. Dab some antibiotic cream on it before you put it in. Also, get some bactine and start pouring it on the piercing and turning the earring so it gets in the hole. Wash your hands before you touch it.

When getting a cartilidge piercing - you're supposed to wait at least 10 weeks to take out the earring, even to change it. That's why you're having problems. Get some bactine and start cleaning it.

well if you got your ears pierced at a friends house or somewhere thats not proffessional i suggest you to go the ear doctor and see whats wrong because there is most likely an infection there and dont put the earring on right now if it hurts that bad, and you should really talk to a doctor

i had that done years ago and i can honestly say your better off without it! mine was in for 2 years and still hurt to sleep on it. the swelling will go down just be sure to cleanse it you will be fine
