Answers:
yes you need to take the earring out and clean the site - bacteria are killed by your body's immune system, but the bacteria can live on the metal surface out of reach and just keep spreading back to your ear - clean your ear and then clean the earring with alcohol or betadine. good luck and hopefully it doesn't close over.
