Is this an allergic reaction?
I got 2 cartilage piercings, on the same ear, about a week ago (with a gun) and it was feeling fine the next day. All of a sudden it starting hurting, turned red, and swelled up. I've tried peroxide, ice, and neosporin. It's just getting worse. It's starting to affect my sleep due to pain.
I got my other cartilage done the same way, in March, and the same thing happened. I went to a doctor and he thought it was the place that pierced my ear. I was given antibiotics and it got better after a few days, but I don't understand how that could happen twice at different places. I followed all directions given. Could this be an allergic reaction to steel? Or could this be that I swim in a pool every other day (I wasn't swimming during my first cartilage piercing)? If you can guess what could have caused this, could you tell me what I should do? Thanks PS Now I'm really itchy everywhere. It's to the point where it is kind of painful. Thanks again |

You can have an allergy to steel, which can contain nickel, even when rated surgical grade.
Now you can also have a bacterial infection 'all over' and you need to see a DOCTOR right away! And why would you think it's OK to swim? A pool is full of bacteria, no matter how much chlorine it has in it. |
