Suggest Treatment For Lumps Caused Due To Ear Piercing
my six year old daughter had ears pierced but we took out after six months cos kept getting sore. Now, six months later, she still has balls in her old piercings which are closed. Will these go eventually, is there anything we can do? and can she have them repierced at a later date? Thank you.

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern.
As per your query you have soreness in ear after piercing . There can be many reason for soreness . Sometimes infection occur during piercing and ear get sore . There can be other reasons also like irritation of skin . Normal piercing take 4-8 week for healing , Sometimes cartilage piercing take little longer time . But in your case it has been six year you are suffering from soreness of ear . I would suggest you to consult dermatologist for proper checkup and treatment . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics for at lwat a week . Do not wear anything in ear till they heal properly .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
