Hey I just got my cartlidge pierced around 6 months or so ago and it was fine after I got it pierced but in the last few days it's been really sore and now it's all red and swollen here is a picture of just how bad it is http://tinypic.com/r/245n8lf/6 please I need help on what to do thanks

Did you change your earring? If you did that may be the reason to why it's sore because that's what happened to mines, I put in a different earring and it was extremely sore then I took it out and cleaned it with alcohol and it feels why better. But I would try taking out the earring,clean it and that may help. If it gets worse, go to a doctor. Hope this helps. Did you change your earring?

I took it out to clean it and then is started swelling... I really should listen to instructions..

I would like to recommend an over the counter medication for this. It's called Hibiclens. It literally healed my cartlidge in days! Throw the crap they give you away at Claire's or other places and go buy Hibiclens. You won't be sorry! Great product!
