Answers:
Ah, I used to have that too!!

Firstly, it usually comes from your earrings being screwed on too tightly, (you may disagree)!. So, if you have earrings, take them out for about 2 weeks time!. (If feasible)!.

Now, take 2 alcohol pads and dab the back of your ear, just to clean it!. (It shouldn't hurt or sting)!. Once you've done that, apply lots of neosporin to both ears!. FRONT AND BACK!. (If they are peirced)!.

Do this 1-2 a day!. Morning & Night or just Night!. You have to be able to sleep on this!. DONT TOUCH IT when in the process!. Don't touch it at all to smell it or whatever!.!.!.as tempted as you might be!.

I forget what it is called, if it is an infection or not!. I don't think it is puss though!.

If it continues, you can see a doctor!.

PS When it goes away, put back in the earings LIGHTLY!. NO HOOPS for a few weeks!.!.!.only hypo-allergenic or REAL jewelery and screw it in VERY loosley!.

Good luck! I hope everything works out :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Are your ears pierced!? From the sound of it, I'd say they are!. My ears are pierced, so I've had this before, and it is an infection!. The best thing to do is:

1!. Every couple of hours, twist your earrings around in your ears - this prevents the earrings to stick to your ears!.

2!. Every few hours, take your earrings out and squeeze the holes to help get the infection out!.

3!. When finished with number 2, keep the earrings out and put them in a small dish of either hydrogen peroxide or rubbing alcohol!. Then apply the same liquid to a cotton ball or q-tip and rub that on your ear!. This will keep everything clean!.

If it gets worse, go see your doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
