well I know that it is infected. only within my right ear, there is gooey blackish-yellow stuff on the back of my earring and it started to bleed, turn red, hurt and sting. in a minute I realized that they're sinking into my ear! both sides, not just the right side anymore. is this average? because it's not sticking out, or even level to my ear. someone said that this happened to their cousin and they have to rip it out. I think that it's a lie, but please backing? if you have piercings and/or are a piercer or even have have this sort of experience before this should be easy. but the physical question is...what do I do?! (sorry to "yell" but this isn't that great.)
I need to know how to stop the infection, how to purloin care of it, not let it sink surrounded by. I don't really want to take them out because then as you know it HURTS (obviously lol) and if the hole closes up the infection can get hold of caught inside and get worse (as told by a family member). so how can I stop this infection save for going to the doctor? going to the doctor will be my last resort because if I can do it at home that would be better.
thanks you guys!
PS GOD DAMMIT IT HURTS LIKE HELL (heh)
Answers:
You patently have an infection. Your earrings should be left surrounded by place to allow for drainage of the infection.
Clean your piercing. Clean your piercing more frequently until the infection goes away. Your infection will clear up eventually.
Are you wearing hypoallergenic or nickle free earrings? You could be allergic to nickle, a metal used in jewelry.
OMG - On ears that are not long pierced it is not unusual for the earrings to seem to sink into the ear because the ear is swelling. With the infection, the ear is swelling so it appears the earring is sinking into the ear. The thing to do is to carry some rubbing alcohol. Loosen the back of the earring so it does not fit so tight and with a cotton swab, drop a few drops of rubbing alcohol on the front and posterior of the earring and then twist the earring. This allows the alcohol to procure in between the earring and the ear and keeps the tissue from attaching to the wager on of the earring. Does it hurt? Yep, it stings like heck and will for a couple of days, but it will clear up the infection.
Now days the places where you procure your ears pierced give you some solution to clean your ears, but when I have mine pierced 30 years ago, we just were told to use rubbing alcohol. My daughter have two piercings and both got infected until I convinced her to use rubbing alcohol. The infections cleared up quickly.
Just use some rubbing alcohol, you will be fine within a couple of days.
