What Does Small Hole In Ear With Puss Discharge And Pain Indicate?
Hello!
I have a small hole in my ear towards the top. Have had it my whole life not a piercing.
The other day it was pushing out puss that had a weird odor and my mom put perioxide and pushed alot it out.
Now my ear is on pain and is swollen. Not serouos pain but it is sensitive and swelling no color changes or anything. What should i do?
