Is this normal? Advice would be apprecicated!?!


Question: I got my cartilage pierced yesterday. My ear is tender, which I understand, and a little bit swollen. It went down overnight and then got a bit swollen again after I got a shower and cleaned my new piercing with the solution I was given. Is it normal for an ear to be tender and swollen? This is the first time I've done this, and I would like to be able to keep my earring.

yes is completely normal i have a friend who works at a tattoo shop and i had it done my ear was swollen and tender just keep on put in the solution on the place where u got Ur ear pierced GOOD LUCK!

yes very normal. It may stay sore for a week or so. Keep cleaning it with the solution at least twice daily.

maybe, I'm not sure but I would think it'd have something to do with blood flow, when you were sleeping there wasn't blood flow to your ear but once you got up and moving then the blood started flowing better..I don't know...sounds good though right?

yes its normal.

yes it is normal. your ear will be alright after some days and after that you can keep your earring.
