Does sleeping on your cartilage piercing cause a piercing bump? Well that we know for sure! When you sleep on a healing cartilage piercing, you're putting prolonged pressure and friction onto tissue that's already trying to heal.❤️‍🩹 This can cause tiny amounts of repeated trauma, which triggers your body's inflammatory response. And the annoying part? You might not even realise you're sleeping on it. Because so many people say I don't sleep on that side but how is it actually possible to know when you're asleep?! Your piercing doesn't need more cleaning, sometimes it just needs less pressure and irritation. If you're healing cartilage, try sleeping on the opposite side or using a piercing pillow to keep pressure off it is our number 1 rule.✨ See our page & follow for more piercing & healing tips. #bump #piercingbump #keloid #healing #aftercare
