Infected earring?!


Question: G'day, I was just wondreing if anyone could please give me some answers, my daughters earring is infected,(she has had them for about 6 weeks) i only noticed it today that it was red and a little swallon. She said that it wasn't hurting, but when i had a closer look there was some puss... We cleaned it all up and went on our day as per normal. As i went to check on her tonite i notice blood all down her neck, i woke her and looked closer, the stud in her ear had pushed its way back into her hole. I had to get my husband to hold her as i pulled it back though. I took the earring completly out.. Was this the right thing to do? I cleaned the hole again in it is VErY large now! (NASTY LOOKING TOO)Where do i go from here? I will take her to the docs tomorrow, but is it possible it will clear up and she can have it pierced again? (she prob wont want to) which is fine, but im worried on really what step to take next?????

it sounds like she is just like my daughter, she may have sensitive ears, my daughter can only wear real, or she has the same problem, also it sounds like maybe the earings they gave you were to small for her ears, your doing the right thing, just keep it clean, and use alcohol, it dries the ears up. hope this helps good luck

This has happened to me. First when it happened i drenched my ear with the cleaning supplies. Then it was ok for a while. Then it hurt really really really badly so i went to bed with out them and they are completely fine now. I still get that junk in my ear sometimes but its easy to pull out
