Hello, I resently got my cartilage pierced in... January, and it is still not healing, it is swollen and sore to sleep on, I have been cleaning it with salt water ad tea tree oil. It has a lot of dry skin around it.. any suggestions to clean it up?

Hello... What kind of piercing is it? (eg rook, tragus, etc)
Its probably not the best idea to use tea tree oil unless its really diluted.
I had a problem with my rook for about 6mnths after I got it done, absolutely killed to sleep on and always felt like it was on fire!
Try not to sleep on it, and if you can get your hands on a dettol cream apply that at night and it helps draw the pus and stuff out of it but make sure you clean it well when you wake up...
In the shower - try to cover it the best you can so soap/shampoo doesn't get near it

Any more probs don't hesitate to give me a yell !

Good luck
