    My Cartilage Piercing is throbbing so much and its hot. HELP
    I got my cartilage piercing 6 days ago and the pain just gets worse and worse!
    I don't get blood or pus, just a tiny bit of swelling and the pain is excruciating! It throbs and throbs all day and night, I can't sleep and its now 4:10 cause I can't sleep anymore :(
    The earring is to tight so it is not allowing swelling and the blood to go through, but it's a lock one and it will not more for me to release some pressure, also its too painful to try.
    Help! What do I do? I am in so much pain :(

    I would go to the local Emergency Room. My stepdaughter had a similar problem, it was infected, the back of the earring pulled into the cartilage and she needed minor surgery to release it.

    Who did the piercing?

    Sounds like you need immediate attention. I agree that this sounds like an infection.
