    Hey, can I take out my cartilage piercing for a handful of minutes?
    It has begun hurting again--I've had almost no pain, and I got it pierced last week--and I'm slightly concerned that I may end up with infection, so I'd like to treat it with salt water before using the benzalkonium chloride. But due to its placement, cleaning it with a Q-tip, even is very awkward and I am sick of not being able to clean it properly. Is there a chance that I could take the earring out for a few minutes, swab it (probably roughly and thoroughly) and then replace it?

    Would that be problematic?

    From my experience when an earring is taking out for only a couple of minutes the hole starts to close a little so the best way to do is to just clean it with it in until you are at least 3 weeks.

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...
