A member asked:
My ear piercing seems to have become infected with a significant amount of puss and some blood. how can i reduce the leakage asap?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ear infection: You need to remove your ear ring immediately, clean the wound with peroxide and see your doctor for antibiotics, especially in case you are developing chondritis or Cartilage infection. You cannot keep the ring or stud in the wound, must remove all hardware when there is an infection.
