6weeks ago i got my ears pierced and today I was allowed to remove the studs. While removing them I felt a lump in my ear where the hole is not to mention it leaked a clear fluid. I'm not sure if it's swelling or some normal effect of newly pierced ears. Help!

Sounds normal. A keloid would be as large as your whole earlobe. With any injury to the skin, including piercings, your body has to go through the normal healing process the first step of which is inflammation. If the fluid was yellow or green then you'd have to worry about infection, but I would not worry about it unless it gets worse.

You will have some scaring in the hole. This is normal. It should not be leaking after 6 weeks.You need to have someone look at it, to tell you if you have a keyloid and or an infection. Did you leave the post out? If you did there is a good chance that you holes will close up. Good Luck.

I wouldn't worry about it. When i got my ears pierce it leaked clear liquid for quite some time and they were a little swollen. and this is coming from someone who has a history of keyloids. now my ears are fine and i don't have keyloids on my ears. but if you're that worried about it go to the doctor.

It's not a keloid ..it's inflammation. It could be you got some germs in there or it could be that you are allergic to the metal that the studs are made from. In either case the way to clear it up is to soak a cotton ball in rubbing alcohol and bathe your ear lobe. Afterwards put a little neosporin on the earlobe and massage it in.
This should clear things up within 24 hours or so.

You need to visit a doctor and not listen to anyone here
