earlobe
my right ear lobe has always been kind of bad with earrings this past year - real itchy, well i didnt wear earrings so my earlobe could get better and stop itching but the problem was while i left my earrings out my holes started to close. so i put my earrings back in about two-three days ago and the back hole of my earlobe was just about almost closed [the right one] so i had to find where the hole was and then reopen it [sometimes very painful]
now my earlobe is KILLING me, maybe i repierced my ear and thats why - or maybe the infection got worse? my earlobe feels swollen and when i looked at the hole lastnight i saw some crusty feeling things in my ears (yes i took everything i could see out) maybe it was like a scab or something i have no clue.
whats wrong with my ear? i went to walmart and bought antibiotic ointment for my ear because the lady said itll help incase i have infection. but wont it close my piercing? i dont have any 'small' earrings theyre all silver and big like hoops or really long ones.
help.

Just in addition to what the person below me said...
The earrings you wear aren't good for your ears. Some people have extremly sensitive ears and cannot wear fake jewelry or even silver. My mom's ears are like that and she can only wear 10K gold earrings or higher because her ears can't handle the metal in the other earrings...her ears get the same way yours do.

Hey.
Having over 20 piercings myself, and always having trouble with my ears. I can tell you what to do. Those crusty things are basically just from the infection, when you see those DO NOT PULL THEM OFF, you need to use hot water mixed with epson salt to clean it off.
No, the ointment will not close your piercing if you leave the earrings in. You should probably just get some sterling silver studs and put in for a few weeks, and you will see a huge improvement.
To help your infection, just clean your piercing 3-4 times a day with hot water and a q-tip then use the ointment on it.
Good Luck. :]
