    Cartilage piercing
    Hey guys,
    I just got my cartilage pierced about 4 days ago. With a needle.
    I just did a really good cleaning kind of under the earring and it had goopy yellow stuff and it looked like the earring is kind of staining my ear a greenish color, can anyone help me\??
    Also
    How long for it to take completely to heal?
    How long till I can change the earring?

    The earring is staining your ear green because it is sterling silver and it is fake. I would suggest getting a real white gold or gold earring. The goopy yellow stuff is normal for a new piercing. It could take anywhere from 3-12 months to heal but most likely 3-6. I would wait at least 4-6 months to change the earring to avoid infection.
