In case of an infection in a cartilage piercing, it is recommended to remove the piercing and treat the infection with an antibiotic cream. If the infection is not too extensive, you can start with Polysporin and switch to Bactroban if there is no improvement after 72 hours. It is best to consult with a pharmacist to find the most suitable cream for your situation.
