Cartilage Piercing infected ?

Hey, I have 3 cartiledge piercings and although i didnt do mine myself, you kinda sound like you know what youre doing. . . . bumping it lots, sleeping on it, getting it caught in hair etc, especially during the healing process can cause it to 'spaz out' somewhat. Even now, if I sleep on mine, they can get sore . . . be brave, get it back in there, keep looking after it, try not to bump it!! The clear fluid is where it has not healed yet, if this fluid becomes yellow, smelly, remotely pus-like, take it out and clean and disinfect your hole repeatedly until it goes :) Hope this helps? x
