3rd ear piercing on lower lobe-ish area red and swollen and painful - HELP
I did the third piercing on my ear (lower, lobe-ish area) 4 or 5 days ago. Now my left ear in that area is very swollen and red. My right ear is fine. This happened when I did the second piercing as well. I cleaned it 2 or 3 times a day and it went away in a few days. But this time it is quite a bit more painful. I was wondering if anyone knows what it is or how to make it go away?

Maybe give some free advice about: Random Weirdos?
Well, i'd give it maybe another day or so, and if it's still in the condition it's in now, i'd take it out ASAP. There's a possibility that it could be infected. Whether you opt to take it out or not, keep it extremely clean, keep twisting it, and just put a swab of antibitotic cream or Neosporin on it once or twice daily.
And also, no alcohol on it, and no peroxide. It cleans it too harshly and ends up drying it out, so that's a definite no-no.
Next time, I wouldn't recommend piercing it yourself.
If you need any more help or have any other questions, feel free to ask me or even google what you need.
