Over a year ago, I went with a friend to get the upper cartilage on my ear pierced. We went to a place where they use a gun (looking back, I would have gone elsewhere) and got the same piercing in the same place. Months pass. I continue to feel pain when I put the least bit of pressure on my ear, even laying down on a soft pillow. My friend says she feels fine. To this day, it continues to hurt when I lay on it, so I’m worried that it never healed properly. Is it normal to continue to pain me for so long? Or was there maybe something wrong?

To be honest, I just now took the piercing out because the pain was not worth it anymore. I’ll just let it heal up, pierce my earlobe again, and leave that upper area alone.
