Pus won't stop coming out of the back side of my right ear lobe, what's wrong with it? What can I do?

Question

I've had my ears pierced for at least 8 years now, I always wear this one pair of diamond earrings, I mean, I clean them weekly, but the other day my right earlobe started itching so I decided to take them off and ever since then the back side of my right earlobe, pus won't stop coming out of it. It's a lot of pus, what's wrong with it? What can I do to make it stop?

Answer 1

u could have an infection in it. try some neosporin on it and don't put the earrings back in until it is much much better. did u maybe accidentally switch out one of the backs or something? also, before applying the ointment, use some hydrogen-peroxide to clean it. good luck
