Hello Advicenators,
I have an impacted/stopped up oil gland on my ear. The impacted/stopped up oil gland is next to where my earring would go in my left ear. It is not ontop of the "hole" for my earing, it is to the side of it. The gland is swollen, reddish/purple, and it hurts really badly. When something touches it (putting on a shirt, brushing my hair, etc., etc.) it feels like someone has stabled a needle in my ear. I know that this is sort of like a pimple on my ear, but is there something I can do to help it go away? Would acne medicine and hot compresses help any? My mom said that if it didn't go away, she'd take me to a dermatologist, but should I try to mess with it or anything?

whatever you do, do not pick at it or anything. try putting anti bacterial ointment on it and i wouldn't suggest putting acne medicine on it because that might make it worse. don't try to put an earring in that hole until this thing gets healed because it could make it worse. hope i helped!
