Thanks.. I have been cleaning it like you said and it works since its still new is hurts a lot and I never know if its really clean so I just trust my instinces
You definitely need to listen to the piercer. You can actually irritate the tissue if you clean too often. You can also dry it out. Try not to sleep on that side if you are a side sleeper. I was a piercer in a tattoo shop and the best way to clean it would be with sea salt and warm water. Just a pinch of sea salt in a cup of warm water. Put your ear in the cup and kind of tilt your head. The sea salt has a natural drawing agent that will pull all of that junk out of your ear. Just remember not to touch your piercing unless you have washed you hands. Also, don't twist it if you get buildup around it. You can damage tissue. Remember, cartilage piercers take a lonnnng time to heal. Good Luck!

Like the person before me said, don't twist the jewelry when the "crusties" are dry; wait until they are wet and preferably removed.. THEN twist the jewelry. Good luck and let me know if you have any more concerns. :)
I do have another concern.. I know I'm not supposed to twist it and I don't unless its wet... like after I wash it I twist it once or twice then leave it alone..
If I get bumbed or something hits me and my ear hurts what do I do to stop the pain? Is there anything I can do.
Take some ibuprofen. This will take away any pain and/or swelling that may occur if you bump it.
Or you can hold some ice on it. I have a cartilage piercing that is still healing and I have had it for quite awhile. But, you should never twist it. Clean it however you prefer and then wipe the gunk away with a sterile cue-tip.
I just got mine yesterday and they said turn it 2x a day and clean at least twice so you can clean it whenever
But don't over do it & I heard sea salt helps it heal
Hi all I got my cartilage done back in the end of oct and it did'nt hurt but now its like red and really sore and fever to it their were some lumps so I took them out and just a coulpe of week I put them back in it was like butter no pain is this good
