I just pierced my ear cartilage yesterday and I couldn't sleep last night because I had a lot of pain. I have had a past serious ear infection on my lobe and I believe that the infection will always be in my ear, do you think this may mean that my ear cartilage will get infected? Also how long does it take for signs of infection to show up?
