    Cartilage piercing bumped, please help!
    I had my upper ear pierced with a gun (only googled it afterwards and realized I should have asked for the needle instead) a few days ago and it was a little sore but not too painful, most of the time I even forgot it was in. But the other night at a gig it was knocked and at the time it didn't hurt that much but from this morning its been constantly throbbing and almost my whole upper ear is quite red. Its really hurting and I don't know what to do. Has anyone done this before or have any advice? I read somewhere that if its inflammed and really hurting that you should see a doctor, I was thinking I'll just wait a few days and if it's still bad I'll go, or should I go asap?
    :confused:

    Redness and pain could mean an infection. You should see your Doctor.
