Answers:
I can only speak for ear cartilage but, yes, much more painful. If you had your nose pierced then....I dunno.....
Keep it clean with mild soap and some bactine. Work the earring back and forth while cleaning it. Make sure you have good quality metal in there..... Also, avoid sleeping on that ear, or anyone "bumping" it. I had mine pierced as well, and it never seemed to heal correctly because of rolling over to sleep on that side and then, someone grabbed me and hugged me, catching the earring on their sleeve before it was completely healed, injuring it. It never was "right" after-wards and I developed a "bump" of scar tissue on it. Never was the same and I ended up taking the earring out. Watch it when you have a haircut too. WOW, sounds like I really had back luck with mine huh? Just some pointers for you.
Use your judgment and call a doctor if you think something is not right. God forbid it gets infected. Its not worth it. Good luck
