Cartilage piercing abnormality?!
Question: I have had my cartilige piercing for about 5 months, and I took it out last night for the first time. When I took it out, and noticed a huge bump on the back of my ear, and the front of my ear started swelling up as well. I cleaned my ear really well and cleaned the earring and tried to put it back in and it wouldn't go in.
SO. Now I have a gross, maybe liquid filled bump on my ear that I have no idea if it's normal and what to do with it!
Insight is appreciated! Thanks! :-)

I would go and get that checked by a doctor before it gets worse. I would not pierce parts of my body like cartilage. It's an infection waiting to happen. It's mutilating your precious body. Pierced ears fine but the rest is just a fade that insecure young people do to help find their individuality. Everyone is special and should be looking on the inside for happiness and peace instead.
