    Soiunds like you have a mega infection going on there. What have you been cleaning this with ? Or have you been cleaning it at all ?

    Is there still a keeper in the piercing, if so, it must come out.

    That`s never happened to me but you could try taking the earing out and taking a cotton ball and put the ear cleaning stuff they gave from getting it pierced or if you don't have that use rubbing alcohol or peroxcide and rubbing your ear with any of those. Get a little bowl filled with a little bit of any of the things I suggested and soak your earings in it.

    You should NEVER use peroxide or chemicals of any kind in a piercing. It can cause chemical burns inside the skin.

    Removal of an infected piercing can trap the infection inside as it heals without the jewelry itself.

    Make a salt solution of 1/4 salt the rest boiled water. Let it cool. Put this on cotton balls and hold to your ear. Once pus stops running, with a clean ball with the solution, hold it to your ear for a few minutes. Do this 3 times a day. Using a qtip and the solution, scrub your piercing, the infected hole, and the area around it. Talk to your doctor about starting antibiotics for the infection.


    Keep this in mind. If you wouldn't eat or drink it, it doesn't belong in your body. Peroxide and things such as that are for external use. Shallow cuts and what not. A piercing is a deep wound. Do NOT use chemicals on it.
