The skin around my cartilage piercing is beginning to peel. normal?
This happened to me, but it went away after about a week. I'm not sure, but it might have been caused by either getting a weird product into the piercing or sun damage, I'm not sure which. Take the earring out and clean both it and the piercing very well with the cleaner provided by whoever pierced it (don't use alcohol, it might be too harsh). If it lasts for more than a couple weeks see your doctor.
