Yesterday, I felt my ear was a little swollen. I thought it was just normal, maybe it'll go away after a day or two.
Then today, I got my mom to take it out (I can't take it out yet, I'm still sort of a newbie to do it), and then my mom said it can be infected. I put some disinfectant on my ear, and on my earring.
I took my earring off.
My mom told me to put some anti biotic on it, but she said the earring hole might close up.
When I got the que tip and dabbed some disinfectant on it and touched the back of my ear lobe with it, it sorta hurt, and when I looked, there was this brown sorta slimy stuff with blood. It's bleeding in the back.
I'm not sure if it's infected or not, I don't want to close my earring hole, but my mom said I might have to.
What should I do?
P.S. - I've had this earring on for about two months no without any problems. These are still my beginner earring, but I just changed the back of it with one of my mom's earring.
