No, you should not twist your cartilage piercing as this can prevent healing. Just wiping the cleaning solution over the front and back of the piercing should be enough.
Accordingly, do cartilage piercings get infected easily?
Cartilage piercings, which take place on the harder part of your ear, generally take longer to heal and can be more prone to infection.
In respect to this, when can I take my cartilage piercing out to clean? Earlobe piercings (6 week healing period): never go more than 24 hours without wearing an earring or your piercing may close. Cartilage piercings (12 week healing period): wear earrings 24/7 to keep your piercing from closing.
In this way, how long does it take for a cartilage piercing to stop hurting?
It is normal for the skin around the piercing to swell, turn red, and be painful to touch for a few days. You may also notice a little bleeding. If the swelling, redness, and bleeding last longer than 2-3 days, contact your doctor. You should keep inspecting the pierced area for at least 3 months.
