    How long does a cartilage piercing take to stop swelling?
    I got my second cartilage down, moreless just above my lobes, it was fine for the first few days but on Sunday it started to swell and right now it's swelled pretty badly, also red and a bit sore. I'm worried in case something might happen. I know it's bad to get it done with a gun but I did, can someone help ?
    P.s.Is it bad to use normal salt and warm water, also I've been using antiseptic cream.
