Question: Question about ear piercings? will this turn into something bad?

okay, i have my ears pierced three times, and these last few days my third piercing on ,y right ear has been sore and stuff, so i took the stud out and felt my ear and it had a huge lump on it!! i llooked at the back of my ear and it was definitly infected, this is gross but it was like a giant puss filled boil,i cleaned my earing and drained the thingy (ewwwwwwwwwwwww) and now i don't know what to do, it ismostly back to normal but still kinda puffed up, will this turn into a keliod? or something else bad?

Answers:

Keep the area clean for the next couple days and be sure you using ointments on it such as neosporin, vitamin E, etc...If swelling and inflammation doesn't go down at all, I'd go see your doctor just to be safe.

No, this isn't a bad sign I had it once and still have a lump on my ear. Nothing bad will happen but if it hurts it's just because of the piercings it hurt alot with me and by the way why did you get them pierced 3 times? you really shouldn't you only get them pierced once, contact your doctor and see what she/he says. Mostly doctors will help you. Also ask the piercer for information about piercing and see what they say. But if your ear is infected yes, once again contact your doctor for more info.
