[|Human|] Hi, I ve had an infection in both my ear piercings (did them myself ;-;) and well I ignored it, but eventually I was put on antibiotics but I stopped using them because I forgot bout it, while my ears were still infected i began stretching my ears, after a while my earlobes look terrible and I was wondering what I could do besides sea salt soaks or doctor visits.
[|AI|]  Hi Dear, Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of infection in ear piercings and infection keeps on reoccurring is mainly due to irritation by the ear ring or sticking up with clothes or fingers there might be having minor injuries causing infection. Sometimes during piercing the instruments used are not clean enough or not sterilize which causes infection and leads to formation of pus and pain as well. Conditions should be highly septic and instrument should be adequately sharp otherwise there will be minor skin trauma which leads to infection. I would suggest you to :-- Take Advil or Tylenol for pain.- Apply Fluicidic acid cream to treat infection.- Clean it properly. Consult doctor for proper examination. Doctor may prescribe antibiotic course for 7-10 days. If antibiotic is not working then remove ear ring for few days and re apply after healing the wound. Hope your concern has been resolved. Best Wishes,
