Probably not: Itch? How long since piercing? Using antiseptic or antibiotic? Allergies to antibiotics are common.

EARLOBE PUS: THE AREA WHERE THE EAR HAS BEEN PIERCED MAY BE SOMEWHAT INFECTED. SUGGESTION: SEE YOUR PCP. YOU CAN TRY SOME FAIRLY WARM COMPRESSES FOLLOWED BY AN ANTIBIOTIC OINTMENT FOR A FEW DAYS FIRST , , , AND IF IT IS STILL THERE SEE YOUR DOCTOR
