twin4life Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 does anyone know what i should do? i just recently took out my cartilage piercing after about 6 months and i've taken it out like 3 times. but today there's this big bump under it, and it's about the size of my actual stud :/ . my sister looked at it and said that it's definatly infected. should i see a doctor? does anyone know what i could put on it or something to help it? oh, and when i first got my cartilage peirced they told me not to clean it with alcohol because it would clog the pores or something....

twin4life Posted March 8, 2005 Author Share Posted March 8, 2005 yeah it's kinda like a bubble (eww). and i got it peirced with a gun. my brother yelled at me for that, saying that it was really stupid not to get it done properly with a needle :rolleyes: but i got mine in august 2003 and i haven't really had too much problem with it. i took the stud out, and yeah, it's an ear piercing :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenjie Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 just go to the docs. they ought to give you antibiotics to help clear up the infection. just be careful it doesn't start oozing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet One Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Have it amputated. The bubble, I mean. Go to the doctor. Get it checked. They'll know more about it than a bunch of people on a message board would. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
