Hi, for upper lobe/cartilage piercing care: clean 2 times daily with sterile saline spray (0.9% normal saline), then let it air dry. Do not use Dettol, alcohol, peroxide or frequent ointments unless infected.
Next Steps
Avoid touching/twisting the jewelry, sleep on the other side, keep hair/products away, and avoid swimming until healed. Cartilage healing can take 3–6 months or more.
Health Tips
If increasing redness, swelling, pus, severe pain or fever occurs, get examined early.
