ok, i'm pretty sure it's an infection in my ear hole, but it's not like any other that i've had. it's swelled up like a balloon, and it's red. it almost feels like it's full, like it barely moves because it's huge. it's a little larger than double the size my other ear lobe, what should i do? i have tried peroxide, but it hasen't seemed to work...also i've been streaching my ears--putting spacers in, i've only got to a 6 gage though, and the other ear seems to be fine. all help is apreciated, thanx...it doesn't feel like it will squeeze like a pimpil, and it really hurts

Wow try hot water soaks to bring any infection close to the skin then it will eventually path out. But if it is as large as your saying it sounds like drainage or even incission and drainage follow with erythmycin or an atiboitic for staph may be in order.

I'd go to a doctor, maybe he will prescribe some antibiotics or something to get rid of the infection. Good Luck.

Infections are nothing to mess around with. I suggest you go see a doctor ASAP. It may need to be lanced and possibly anti-biotics either oral or topical or both.

A doctor should be able to drain it with a hypodermic needle. I'd recommend that you do that before doing any squeezing or lancing on your own.

Cut off the extra skin so it matches the other side ... or ... go to a doctor ? Nah, too much work, just snip it.
