My cartilage?!


Question:

My cartilage?

ok last summer i got my cartilage and it was ok and it healed fine but then like a mouth ago it stated to hurt and then my mom say its ok but it hurts to sleep on it and i tryed taking my earing out but that made it wosre. could my cartilage be infeced after so long? well should i call the doctor ?


Answers:

It could be infected. Is the skin around it red and swollen? Does the skin feel hotter than it should? cartilage has a poor blood supply so it takes cartilage alot longer to heal so it could be still healing. But if it bcms red, swollen, and has pus comming from it then it's infected
