Maybe infected:
Here's how to treat infected ear :
"Most infected ear piercings occur within the first few days, and are marked by redness and inflammation. While most infections are caused by improper aftercare, there is still a possibility that the irritation may be an skin allergy to the earring itself, or may even be part of the normal healing process. By constantly monitoring your ear piercing, you can quickly determine if it is infected.
Instructions
Things You'll Need
Sea salt
Cotton swabs or cotton balls
Hot water
1 Step
One Determine the difference between the normal healing process of an ear piercing and an infection. The normal healing process may include redness, swelling, crustiness or even pus around the piercing. With an infection, however, the redness and irritation may be accompanied by persistent pain and yellow or green pus, and the area will be warm to the touch.
2 Step
Examine your aftercare procedure and determine if you are following instructions accurately. An infection is often caused by improper cleaning procedures, or by using oils or moisturizers that may increase bacteria near the piercing site. Remember to always wash your hands before cleaning your ear piercing as well.
3 Step Three
Handle an infected ear piercing by dissolving 1/8 tsp. pure sea salt into a cup of hot distilled water. Avoid any type of iodized salt, which can make the infection much worse.
4 Step Four
Dip a cotton ball or swab into the solution, and apply it to the infected ear piercing using steady pressure. Ensure that the cotton ball or swab is sterile. Leave it on your ear until the hot water has cooled.
5 Step Five
Repeat this process once a day until the infection has gone away completely. Do not repeat this more than once a day, and do not increase the amount of pure sea salt used.
6 Step Six
Check the infected ear piercing at least once per day to see if pus or liquid is draining from the area. Although this may appear unsightly at times, it is part of the normal healing process.
7Step
Visit a doctor immediately if the infection does not lessen in 3 to 4 days. Infections in your ear can become quite severe if you do not handle them correctly, especially due to the proximity of the ears to the brain.
Go to the doctor
Keep washing the site with alcohol and then a mild soap and water. Keep it up until the site is healed. Make sure you also do the same with your earring (s).
even when your ear appears to look healed, it isnt you need to reinsert your piercers or a good pair of gold earrings and leave them for 6 mo or more, using alcohol to rinse around them several times aday- healing on the inside takes time
Yep, go to the doctor. But in the mean time, take out the earring and make sure you clean your ear well, with disinfectant or alcohol- you know, the works.
Plus, you're changing your earring waaaaay too soon. Your body likes to decieve yourself and appear healed.
your body is reacting to it naturally by secreating natural oils/ mucus.... also it could be the onset of an infection.... wash it through with water and soap .. and apply neosprin .. till the rredness reduces... the smell will go only if u clean the back of ur ear daily with soap while takin a bath
Yes, indeed see a Doctor. Doctors do Ear piercing, and give instructions for proper care. Both ears should be done at the same time. It is an infection. and it will be treated. Get well soon
If you are allergic to the metal in the earrings you changed into then you need to take them out.....but, I suggest you buy 14kt gold as this could be your problem. Sometimes our bodies change or eat off the coating on the ear wires. I am like that and after trying and trying to wear non gold....I finally gave up...now I have now problems but I can only wear 14 kt or up in all my jewelery. Surgical steel only works for a few hours before I start getting itchy and red then the infection starts. I am also not able to be stapled up after a surgery, because of the allergic reaction. Keep the ear lobes clean with alcohol, to heal the infection, clean them 4-5 times a day after you put in good gold earrings. All those dipped in gold, or vermeil, etc....dont work either...Hope this helps you.....
clean them with hydrogen peroxide then rinse them and clean them with alcohol and it sounds like you have sensitive ears you may be only able to wear real gold , sterling silver or non-allergic earrings. The earrings you changed into you were allergic to. If it gets worse or you get a fever go seek medical attention good luck
yummy id like to suck them dddddddddd al pedo estoy!
first of all, why did you change your earings? dint the person who perced them for you warned you to not change earrings for at LEAST A MONTH , so, i blame it on the person who perced yuour ears, unless the person did tell you, but u didnt listen. then i blame it on u. :) sorry :(
