How do i treat a swollen ear lobe after going up a gauge?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A few things: Hi If there are no breaks in the skin, ice and an oral anti-inflammatory like advil can be helpful. If it looks very red, feels hot, is very tender, there is risk it may be infected and you might need antibiotics. Try to keep the area dry and clean. Hope this helps
