It seems like infected around the hole for over 2 weeks now, I've been cleaning several times a day but it's getting worth. all the area is red and kind of wet or have some yellow sticky stuff. I've tried antiseptic ear-cleaner, hydrogen peroxide, betadin solution...I got it pierced almost a year ago and I'm wearing 14k gold stud, and I never had problems before. I don't know what to do now...

I got same problems when i wear those fake earrings. i recommend u wash it with iodine peroxide and put back the 14k gold earrings. Only wear the hypoallergic earrings to prevent those puss coming out of the whole.
as of now, continue with the 14k gold. if u dont, the pierced is gonna close and u will have to have it pierced again.

try to not wear earrings for a week or so and let it heal. i used to get those in the first few years after getting mine pierced and its not serious. just keep it clean, dont use soaps. I used rubbing alcohol or peroxide. if you can, get some ear cleaning solvent such as the stuff they usually give you when you get them pierced. and let them air out...without earrings. if you are like me and cant wear fake jewelry, make sure you wear real gold or sterling silver so it wont get infected

remove the stud and clean your peircing three times aday with rubbing alchohol. Its infected. If symptoms persist more than one more week see a doctor. You could also be having an alergic reation to the metal. Try another metal type after yoour sypmtoms clear

You need to have a doctor look at this. It very well may be an infection. The doctor can give you medication for that and can also give you instructions on how to keep the area clean.

My daughter had a nasty infection in her ear piercings. In addition to her regular cleaning regimen I put Neosporin on her posts and worked it into the holes. It cleared it up in no time.

I would probably be best use an antibacterial soap to clean it with, dry it good and use alcohol on it. The alcohol will dry it up. Peroxide on the other hand will keep it softened up and wet.

You need an anti-biotic . Infections don't go away by themselves ;but your ear could if it get gangrene from ignoring an infection . Go to a doctor or the E.R. ASAP .

you might be allergic to gold...or its not real gold and you're allergic to that. change out earrings after you let it heal, put a stud with sterling siver in the hole and see how it goes
