Does Sensitive Ear Oozing Clear Liquid Post Helix Ear Piercing Suggest Infection?
hi, i got a helix ear piercing 3 weeks ago and for the first 1.5 weeks it was completely fine, just the usual slight pain and tenderness. at the beginning of the 2.5 week my ear became red and very sensitive to touch with clear fluid oozing out every time i cleaned it. is my ear piercing infected?

Hi,
It seems that there might be having some infection at piercing site producing redness, tenderness and oozing.
Clean the part and apply antibiotic cream.
If require go for one antibiotic medicine course for 3 days.
Ok and take care.
