It's been six weeks since i had my ears pierced so i can already remove the earring but i didn't yet. my left pierce was fine until i kept on turning the earring, it kinda became a habit...anyway, it got red and fat. the next day, it looked much better in the front but at the back, the part around the pierce is still red and fat there was no puss so it's not an infection right?

make sure you wash your hands with soap before you touch/turn them...yes it is infected.....just not bad enough to puss over....yet.

You just might have an infection. Just because there is no puss doesn't mean there is no infection.Treat it as if it was infected to be on the safe side.

Sorry hun. It is infected. Wash your hands and your earlobe gently with mild soap and warm water. Rub some polysporin on twice daily.
