Answers:
The dark red part is a bit worrisome!. You probably should be checked by a doctor for possible infection!. Till you can get an appointment, put a dab of antibiotic ointment on both sides of your ear at the piercing site several times a day!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
If the small circle around the peircing is hard its ok!. If your whole ear lobe is hardening you may wanna take it out!.!. never happened to me!. I have three peircings in each ear!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
if your ear is red, you probably have an infection!. you need meds, please go to a doc!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
