Hi I got my cartliage done at the end of oct and their was no pain then a couple of week latter their was some pain when I clean them and when I sleep on them they got a little fever and was red and purple so I took them out and waited a couple of weeks I felt lumps on both of my ears so I left them out for a while and a day or so I put them back in they went back in with no pain is this OK

It's fine they just got iratated by sleeping on them, I've had mine for 3 years now same thing happened to mine. Make sure you twist the ring around and clean them everyday... and change the ear ring every so often cause it will get dirty and iratate it worse maybe get infected:)
