Hi, Your history clearly indicates reaction to the metal used in earrings. This caused a condition called allergic dermatitis which might have got secondary infection hence the discharge and other symptoms that you have mentioned. I would advise you the following in such a situation: - Remove all the earrings and clip ons - Apply liquid Povidone iodine for control of infection - Antihistamine for controlling the reaction - Consult your doctor for clinical evaluation - To get a prescription based antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines Once the allergy and infection is well settled and there is a gap of few months you can get the cuts stitched. Do not use any metallic things that cause such problem again. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. T. Chandrakant, General Surgeon
