How to treat a red swollen ear from an earring?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Red swollen piercing: A pierced ear can get infected easily. It can easily react to the metal of the ear ring. Using hydrogen peroxide or other similar products to clean the site may be all you need. But, sometimes taking out of the earring is necessary to get your skin to get back to normal.

Lymph node behind right ear has been swollen almost 3 years. Not painful to touch, no redness, and has no grown in size since that time. Part of it feels squishy, but part of it feels hard, the part that rests on jaw. Should I be concerned for cancer?
