I'm 14 and have just recently pierced my ear cartilage myself (I know it was a stupid idea :/) I did it with a safety needle and I'm really worried I'll get an infection. I clean it every day (x2) with this after piercing lotion that I had from my ear lobe piercing that I had done. Uncertain of what I have to do to prevent any infection... :( Also, I was thinking about just taking the piercing out but a friend told me if was better to leave it in till it heal so it won't get infected...
