Hey, I got my second cartilage piercing three days ago, and doe some reason whenever I even lightly brush it, it's excruciatingly painful. A long time ago I decided to be stupid and try to pierce it myself with a safety pin, which failed terribly since I couldn't get the ring all the way through even after I re-pierced it several times. It bled a lot by the way. That happened a long time ago, it would have healed by now. Is the pain possibly from re-piercing the scarred tissue, or could there be another reason? None of my other piercings hurt nearly this badly. I've been cleaning it well, and taking pain medicine. Is there anything else I can do? Thanks~
