Can you tell me some suggestions from cartilage piercing pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Frankly -would avoid: getting cartilage pierced. High ear piercings through cartilage have ^ risk of infection & lack of healing because of minimal blood supply to auricular cartilage. You can develop a perichondral abscess as well auricular perichondritis. Is it worth the risk?
