Hi, I got a cartilage piercing done 6 month ago. I clean it every day the first month and it seemed good. Through time it kept swelling about every week and hurting. yesterday it became very swollen and irritated so I took the earing out to clean it and the hole immediately closed and bled a little and got more swollen. Now I have a bump at both sides of the hole and it is hard. Today I used syntomycine 5% on it. Is it going to heal?
