    Cartilage piercing is red swollen and painful
    I had my cartilage pierced at the top 4 days ago with a needle, yesterday it started to get really red and started to swell, I noticed a small puss bag but it has popped now.
    Is it infected? I have read severall websites and they say that these things are normal but I am concerned
    Help please! :)
