Suggest Remedies For Swollen Ear Lobe After Piercing
I had my ears pierced 8 weeks ago. No problem until yesterday when i awoke and saw my right ear lobe swollen. Thee is no discharge or bleeding or redness, but the earring feels tight and it is hard to turn the earring. Tomorrow I am going to have the earrings removed, but want to put in my new earrings. Can I do this? What is the treatment after I put the new earrings in?

Hi,
I have gone through your query; it suggests that you may be suffering from the perichondritis and it most possibly due to the piercing of cartilaginous portion of the pinna not the ear lobe. I personally advised to avoid putting new earrings in your ear.
Thanks
