What to do about a pierced ear infection?!


Question: What to do about a pierced ear infection!?
My ears have been double pierced for about a year, and I've always had earrings in!. Just recently I've noticed that one of my earlobes kind of hurts and today i saw a little bit of pus!. I took all of my earrings out, but I really don't want them to get infected and then close!. Should I clean everything and put it back in, or put something to help my infection clear!?

Thanks!Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Clean your ear with rubbing alcohol and go without earrings for one day, then clean them again with alcohol!. If there is less pus each time, continue this process until all the pus is gone and does not come back for a few days!. If the pus continues for more than three or four days, see a doctor!. After the pus is completely gone wear light weight high quality stud earrings for one day and see how your ear looks!. The best earrings to wear are the studs that were used to pierce your ears!. So long as the pus does not come back, wear the stud earrings day and night for about a week, cleaning and turning them just like you did right after your ears were pierced!.

You may have developed an allergy to the metal is some of your earrings, particularly the cheaper ones!. Go to any place that sells earrings and ask them for earring sleeves!. These are plastic sleeves that slide over the posts on your earrings so the metal does not come in direct contact with your ears!. Follow the directions that come with the sleeves for using them!. If you have any problems finding them, a popular brand is E'arrs which you can ask for by name!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Clean them with some sort of rubbing alcohol and leave them out for about a week or so!. They won't close up in a week!. And before you put your earrings back in, make sure to clean them off too!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
