    What are you cleaning with ? It makes a difference and I hope it isn't soap.

    Bleeding is good, it is cleansing from the inside out.

    Try using a sea salt and warm water solution. Cartilage piercings take a long time to heal at least two months or more. My industrial was done yesterday and feels terrible but the sea salt helped a lot try to avoid laying on it, taking it out, or moving it. I hope my advice helps!
