    Did you change your earring? If you did that may be the reason to why it's sore because that's what happened to mines, I put in a different earring and it was extremely sore then I took it out and cleaned it with alcohol and it feels why better. But I would try taking out the earring,clean it and that may help. If it gets worse, go to a doctor. Hope this helps. Did you change your earring?

    I would like to recommend an over the counter medication for this. It's called Hibiclens. It literally healed my cartlidge in days! Throw the crap they give you away at Claire's or other places and go buy Hibiclens. You won't be sorry! Great product!

I had the cartilage in my right ear (up at the top) pierced nearly 14 weeks ago, with a gun (yes, I know this was unwise!).
