Why The Piercing Of Ear Is Sore And Yellowish Green Pus Comes Out Of It?
I got my 2nd set of ear piercings 3 months ago, sometimes they re fine and have no pain or anything what so ever. Other times, like when they re thoroughly cleaned, they become sore and have some blood & a yellowish green pus coming out. I cant tell if theyre infected or not.

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
As your ears pierced 3 months back and know they are swollen, hot to the touch, and extremely itchy it may be may be due to injury to the ear cartilage. The greenish discharge from the site of ear piercing suggests that there may be infection of the tissues.
I would suggest you to follow
1.Apply Metrogyl ointment over the wound
2.Oral antibiotics like Tab Augmentin, twice daily for 5 days.
3.NSAIDS like Tab Ibuprofen
Thank you.
