How do I treat my swollen ear lobe piercing?

I have had my ears pierced for three years. For some reason my right ear lobe piercing is very swollen today and it hurts a lot. It’s bigger and darker than the other ear lobe. It’s throbbing and it is very warm. I have tried antiseptics, neosporin, and ice but nothing is helping. what do I do?

Answer #1

I had that same thing happen! I had my ears pierced for years then one ear freaked out and got swollen and dark red and had a weird texture to it. Have you worn any new earings you hadn’t worn before? I’d go into a piercing shop and ask them what you should do though. Cause we can only give so much advice on here without seeing it and such and they are professionals who are trained to deal with this kinda stuff =]

Answer #2

did you try putting neosporin on the earing then putting it in?? that ushaly helps but if it gets worse you should probebly see a doctor
