I got a third lob and a Cartilage Piercing done on both ears a few days ago and they didn't hurt at all during or after the piercing unless I touched them or they were hit directly. They told me that my right ear would hurt a little more because it's my dominant side, but I was a little worried when my right cartilage started to hurt a lot more then when I just touched it. As I speak my right cartilage piercing is hurting like none other and I haven't even touched it.
I also noticed that the top of my ear has swollen a lot and it's really hard to move the earing. It looks like I'm having a blood clot or something next to the cartilage.
My question is, is my ear infected or did they pierce my ear in a bad spot and now I;m having blood clot?
I got it pierced by a gun with 14k studs plus I've been cleaning them correctly. My other three piercings are fine, so why is this one hurting so bad?
