How do I care for or what should I do with an infected ear piercing?!
Question: I got my second hole done on my lobe a couple months ago. But today I noticed my right lobe was swelling and red (the piercing on the left lobe was completely fine). I took out the earring and blood and puss came out. I just cleaned the piercing with that antiseptic stuff the piercers gave me, but I'm about to run out.
And how long will this last, and will I be able to keep the piercing?

it usually hurts for a couple of day.. and infections are very common.. i would highly reccomend that you get some more antiseptic though,... and make sure you twist the earring a couple times a day... polysporn can help it too...
you better get more i have heard people can get a staph infection from that dont play with it.
use hydrogen peroxide!
