What Causes Swelling And Redness In Ear After A Feeling Of Stung?
Hello, I recently got my ear's pierced about 3 or so weeks ago and I had no problems or irritations with them until this morning. I woke up with my left ear swollen and a little red, because I noticied it when I felt a little sting in my ear lob. Do you know if this could be an infection?

Hi,
It seems that due to catching of ear rings with clothes there might be having some injury on piercing site producing some infection.
Clean the site with antiseptic lotion and apply antibiotic cream.
Ok and take care.
