The duration of pain, swelling, and crusts after a cartilage piercing can vary from person to person. Typically, initial discomfort may last for a few days to a couple of weeks. Swelling and crusts often start to diminish within the first few weeks, but complete healing may take several months. Consistent cleaning, avoiding irritation, and following aftercare instructions can help promote a smoother healing process. If you have concerns about prolonged pain or complications, it's advisable to consult with a professional piercer or a healthcare provider.
