I got my cartilage pierced but its gotten infected.do i have to take the earring out for it to get better?

I got my cartilage pierced like a couple of days ago prob. more and it has gotten infected not bad but its getting there is there ne thing i can do to get it better w/o letting it grow up??
Answer:
yes you need to take the earring out and clean the site - bacteria are killed by your body's immune system, but the bacteria can live on the metal surface out of reach and just keep spreading back to your ear - clean your ear and then clean the earring with alcohol or betadine. good luck and hopefully it doesn't close over.
yes leave the ring out and use cream based disinfect
yup, take it out or your ear will swell and develope a big boil looking bump... I had an earring in my top left , ooooh it hurt so bad, i took it out cleaned it with peroxide and never put that earring back in,,,, some peoples ears are more sensitve than others in that area
Sorry but, you have to take it out. It will feel better in hours! I had mine done and after 4 months it was still sensitive and then it got infected. I took the earring out and by the next day I could sleep on that side again and it was healing quickly. I got a bump in both sides of my ear and I can still feel it. Take it out so you can stop worrying about it! I know it looks cute but, you need to be healthy!
You should stop using the cleaner that the earing place gave you (if they did). It helped when my ears were infected, but I never used it again and used hydrogen peroxide, and its so much better.
