Google90 Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 is anyone here an earring expert? Ive had my cartilage pierced for about 6 days now( have 2 on my left ear), and today i had to take it out for about 1-2 hours (not sure, was knocked out by anesthesia) because of surgery. And when I get home, I try to put it back in, but I can only go halfway. I can see the hole from the front. It looks like "crust" built up in the back maybe? Is there a possibilty that its been closed from the back? My earrings have been out for about 9 hours now..please reply ASAP it looks like i broke the crust, but i still dont know if the hole is all the way through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anesthesia Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 It won't have healed up in that time. It will just be scabbiness that is blocking it, if I were you I'd take a deep breath and shove it through - else it will heal up. Some people are changed by being a moderator. I wouldn't be.

Take a deeeeeeep breth and make it, or just put the earing and force it to go trough the hole! ~komodo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotnoodles Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 I wouldn't force it through. I'd probably ask your chemist whether you run the risk of getting an infection if you did. My friend has her cartilage pierced, and it formed a huge growth after it got infected - very strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anesthesia Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 You have a risk of getting an infection whenever you get anything pierced. Seeing as this item is going to be next to the raw flesh as it is, you are unlikely to raise your chances of getting infected unless you tear off more flesh. The crustiness is completely normal, it's just the hole trying to heal and you need the ring in there to stop it being able to. The most important thing to do is to wash the ring and the hole in sal[bleep]er at least once a day, that is what helps stop infection. Some people are changed by being a moderator. I wouldn't be.

konnan4444 Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Wash the earing with alcohol, then stick in through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knives669 Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 I didn't know that your ear could close up from a cartilage piercing... but, the only thing I can suggest is wash it with alcohol or peroxide, including the earring, and see if you can get the person who pierced it to tell you what is wrong with it. You might have to have it pierced again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topazjewel Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Piercings.. gahhh. -.- I don't even have my ear pierced. If you were me, you'd wrap your ear in scotch tape and hope it healed up. But you're not me, so DON'T try that. Call the people who pierced it and ask them what to do. Or your doctor. Or your mom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't get caulliflowe ears from piercings. You get it from constantly pushing the cartilage back, like ufc fighters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boogie Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 I'd just let it close and get it pierced again. It's probably closed up by now. If you just poke it through, just make sure everything's clean, your hands, the earring, and around the piercing. I doubt you'll get an infection, just take care of it.

knives669 Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 You can trust Boogie. He knows piercings. :D I know a guy who has cauliflower ear, and he did, in fact get it from a cartilage piercing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anesthesia Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Cauliflower ear can also happen when getting the cartilage pierced with a gun, it shatters the cartilage. Some people are changed by being a moderator. I wouldn't be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
