Infection After Ear Piercing
Hi doctor! I recently went to the doctors to get help for my ear piercing infection. He gave me foban cream to apply. I applied and it worked on my piercing infection however, my cartilage in starting to itch and puss is coming out from it... It s not painful or anything but it s really itchy and red... Has the infection spread? What should I do now?
