Okay I must first start by recommending that you see a doctor. However, if you are looking for something to do at home immediately, you can get some (1-2 cups) luke warm water and add about a tsp of sea salt. This makes a saline solution. Put it in a cup (like a shot glass?) and hold your ear lobe in it fo about 5-10 mins. Do this once or twice daily. This should help clear the infection. However, as your body works to heal the infection, it will also close up what it sees as an open sore - your piercing. You will likely lose your piercing. However, this seems to be the right thing for you, because your body is obviously rejecting it hard core. My body used to reject piercings until I discovered I was allergic to surgical steel. Only gold works for me, so that is all I will use. You may want to explore this option as well. Good luck, and remember that your health is the most important thing.
I've had this before- double ear infection. I was sort of small so I don't remember every detail, but I remember the pain of trying to get my earrings out. When I finally got them out I was ordered to put them back in and I couldn't do it. You should put some studs in [please put gold ones in they seem to help and are what I think safer]
You know when you got your ears pierced and you got some liquid to put on your earrings [well you should have] you need to get some of that and that'll help it out. The infection will go away though I'll tell you that because my ears are now normal.
Best of Luck.
theres umm medication like just for that problem ear infection
also temporarily use vasoline to make it feel beter and dont pick the scb!! itll get worse...
Hey I know just how you feel, I always got those in my second piercing for a while after I got them done. Take a hot washcloth and hold it on your ear for a while. Then soak your ear in hydrogen peroxide. It will start to fizz but no worries, it has been a lifesaver for me so many times. The fizzing means it's working. Then, clean off your ear again with a hot washcloth and try putting a clean gold stud (cleaned with alcohol) in your ear. I would not have it re-pierced agaihn, sounds like you're sensitive. Do this every night for a while until the gunk's cleaned out of your ear.
remove the piercing, clean the site well with warm soapy water, and see a doctor if it doesn't heal.
