Question about my infected cartilage piercing?
it is infected for the second time, and there is a pea sized bump on the back of the piercing and it looks puss filled. the first time it was infected i went to the doctor and had it drained. it was fine for a few weeks and now it is infected again. i don't have the money to have it drained again, will it eventually go away if i continue to clean it with antimicrobial soap and soak it with sea salt and water?

Cartilage piercings are famous for abscesses, have it drained wash it with provon soap you may need antibiotics this time to make sure the infection dosen't return :P

If you haven't tried salt water, I would. Also, you might be allergic to whatever type of piercing you used. Another reason is that your ear is rejecting the piercing. Happens a lot to people when they get their belly button or nose pierced.
