Ears Stretched From Zero Gauge To Double Zero Which Caused Swelling In Ears With Blood And Pus Oozing Out. Is This Normal And How Should I Clean The Gauge?
Hello, I just stretched my ears from a zero gauge to a double zero, this was about two days ago. My ears are slightly swollen and there is some pus and blood coming from the hole when I clean them... I wanted to know if this was normal, and what I should do if it is not. Also how should I clean the gauge?

Hi,
It seems that there might be having some injury in external ear while cleaning giving rise to some infection in external ear.
Gently clean the ear with q-tip.
put some antibiotic ear drops 3-4 times a day for 2-3 days.
Ok and take care.
