My Ear Cartilage Piercing I think is Popping out b/c of a Fight? Rip it?!
Question: I got in a little fight with a friend and they got me right where my piercing is, and it hurt but minutes later i realized i was bleeding, siginificantly..I took out earring and cleaned it with antiseptic and behind my ear, I see a little white Thing sticking out, i grabbed a Tweezer and pulled it a little and it was longish and white but very small..it doesnt look like skin..
I put another earring thats a smaller gauge in and i left the cartilage thing there..should i go to my doctors? leave it alone? it doesnt seem right...

Go to the Doctor even if he is conservative. Which makes it difficult. He will probably judge you for this but you need to get it seen to.
A stupid question but could the white strip you took out be cotton from when you cleaned it?
Is it still bleeding?
Causing pain?
You may need stitches.
It most defantly needs medical attention.
That doesn't sound normal..
Maybe the white thing sticking out was lymph (which is normal in healing piercings)?
I'd treat it like a new piercing (sea salt soaks twice a day), try not to sleep on it, and go see your piercer asap to see what he or she has to say.
Absolutely go to a doctor and have a medical professional check your ear.
You do not want to take any silly chances with your self.
check with a docter but also read this:
