Detriments of Cartilage Piercing








Many people are scared of getting cartilage piercings on their ears and nose because of the bumps that come after the piercing and also the small scars that develop around the exit holes. Sometimes, the piercing may also lead to abscesses, a pain pocket of pus.

The primary detriments of cartilage piercing are:

Infection: The infection happens from different sources. The person might get infection from unhygienic earrings and from the environment you choose for piercing.

Scarring: Scarring happen when tissues in the piercing area are affected. The person might get a ridge or a bump on the area when it is done wrongly.

The person who is getting a cartilage piercing might not prefer a cartilage gun to pierce the ear. This might take a long time to heal. It might also create prolonged pain and scarring. This happens because the guns are not meant to pierce the cartilage. So it might upset the cartilage and create difficulties.
