DO NOT remove any piercing if it is infected.
This can cause much more problems, especially with ear cartilage.
If you remove the piercing, you remove the point of drainage, and the infection can get trapped inside of the cartilage.
The best thing to do is talk to a doctor before you remove any piece of body jewelry. If the doctor gives you the OK, go see a body piercer who has the proper tools to open the jewelry.
If you have a cbr(captive bead ring) in your ear, they are very difficult to remove by yourself. You can do more damage to the tissue trying to twist and pull the bead out.
Only remove it when a doctor says its safe.
To get the infection down you can try doing sea salt soaks.
•How to do a sea salt soak•
1.Wash your hands with an anti-Bacterial or antimicrobial liquid Soap/Wash.
2.Use a disposable cup to mix your sea salt solution. Or clean your cup very well with the anti-bacterial soap.
3.Mix 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt to 8 oz of warm water. (Distilled water if possible)
4.Pour the solution into a small shot glass and dip a piece of paper towel in the solution. Place the paper towel on the piercing (only on both sides) Do this for 10 minutes once a day.
5.Rinse, and pat dry with another disposable paper towel.
•Do not rotate, twist it or turn the piercing.
Do not use alcohol,(unless instructed to by your doctor) as it can be harmful to the scar tissue. Alcohol is not intended for puncture wounds, do not use it unless a doctor says its safe for you as it can be harmful if it gets in your bloodstream.
