Just got cartilage pierced...want to change earring?

SAME thing happened to me! I had an industrial piercing instead though but I ended up getting bumps from irritation and changing my earring too quickly. I soaked mine in solution, I used so many home treatment things but NOTHING worked because I waited too long!

Defiantly take it into your piercer or doctor RIGHT AWAY! I have waited many months and mine turned into a keloid..(which made me have to take out my piercing) It's a big bump of scar tissue that won't go away no matter what I do at home. I took mine in a few days ago and he basically told me I can get it surgically removed or injected once a month and both options are expensive!

So I will probably have this ugly bump forever.. So long story short: I recommend you do not sleep on it! If that's the side you sleep on, get a travel pillow or something that'll prevent you from directly sleeping on your piercing. (Every time you sleep on it add two weeks to the healing process) And take it in right away to find out what is really wrong with it.

I'm no doctor or piercer. But it sounds a lot like what happened to me and I don't want you to be stuck with the same ugly bump as me forever!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
