Suggest Cure For Infection In The Ears Caused By Piercing
I just recently peirced my ear, the second peircing and its fine it didnt hurt or anything. My concern is my gauges. In my left ear i have a 6g when before i had a 10 and my left ear i didnt have anything because i lost my other 10 gauge and i tried putting in a 6 and it wouldnt go through so i put in an 8 and it went right through. My left ear was very painful but the 6 went through. But my right ear has the 8 and its bloody. Has alot of pus liquid coming out and its swollen and thick and tender. My other ear lobe is thick and tender as well

Hello
You have developed an infection of the ear lobes and i would like you to remove the piercings, please keep the area dry and apply mupirocin ointment 2-3 times a day. If the swelling does not decrease in 3 days, meet your doctor for a prescription of antibiotics.
Take care
