hi.
for now, avoid manipulating the affected area as it may increase the inflammation and risk of infection. keep your ear and the surrounding areas clean and dry at all times. also, avoid wearing earrings for now until the inflammation has completely subsided. it is best if you consult with a doctor if the signs and symptoms progress.
hope this helps.
good day!!
