So I just got my cartalige piercing a few weeks ago, and it seems to be doing fine, it only hurt the first week but now is perfect [ at least I'm hoping]. When can I start changing the earring.. and how long does it take for and infection to start usually. Thanks :p

It is generally best to wait 6 weeks before changing the jewelry.

And what do you mean by "how long does it take for and infection to start"? If you are taking care of it you shouldn't get an infection at all.

An infection can occur anytime, especially within the first 3months. Also you shoud wait at least 8 weeks before changing it, the longer you leave the origonal piercing ring in the better.

I got mine done like a year ago & i didn't change iit for agood 7-8 weeks . An infection can occur whenever . Just take care of it a lot . & when i get a new earing i clean it with alcohol & its great!* good luck
