A member asked:

Can you have swelling on a different part of the ear that you got pierced and it be infected?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Swelling or infection from an ear piercing may not develop exactly where the piercing is. Lymphatics and venouse drainage will influence where symptoms develop. If red and war, it is probably infected and you should see your doctor.
