My daughters ears were pierced about 1yr ago...?

Question

I have turned them and done all I can she does not complain of them hurting but when I squeeze the ear a little of yellowish greenish puss comes out from the inside of the ear ring hole with ear ring still in ear. I havn't taken out ear rings(same ear rings used to pierce ears with 14k). This is also her second peircing the first closed up due to me taking ear rings out to early. Should I take out ear rings and let holes close up? Or will the holes close up since it's been almost a yr since they were pierced. Is there an infection in ears, or is just the ear rings itself causing the puss?

Answer 1

It sounds like the holes are infected. Take the earrings out and let them soak in alcohol or hydrogen peroxide for awhile, also, clean the holes with a little bit. Having been a year since she had them pierced they shouldn't close up that fast.

Answer 2

There should be no pus at all if you've been taking good care of it. But since there is, that means she is allergic to the earring. She's probably allergic to 14k gold (earring-wise). Is this the kind she also had the first time? Take it out and just let it close because the infection could get worse.

Answer 3

Get a second pair of 14K gold earrings [ little birthstones or tiny hoops? ].
Take out original pair, and clean with soap and water [ put washcloth over drain hole ] and soak in alcohol.
Clean earholes with a Qtip and alcohol, until pus seems to be gone.
Clean new ones with alcohol, let dry; and put a little antibiotic ointment on each one before you insert it.
Apply ointment twice a day, on ear holes and earrings, and wiggle them around a little so the ointment goes inside.
Your daughter may be allergic to nickel - look for gold, stainless or surgical steel, or nickel-free earrings.

Answer 4

She may have sensitive ears, I would try a hypoallergenic earring. Also make sure the ears are getting cleaned twice daily with solution, that will make a huge difference. Twirly the earring will help keep crust or infection from forming too. If you take it out it will eventually close up especially if you think it is infected.

Answer 5

my daughter had the same problem, only the skin started to grow over the back of the earring and i had to take her to a surgeon to pull the earring out. what a mess. she asked for pierced ears again since but i remind her how scared she was when she had to go to the drs. take her earrings out. clean the pus out and if it does not clear up within a few days, take her to the Dr. good luck!

Answer 6

Leave the earrings in, but have her soak cotton balls in rubbing alcohol & massage them into he earlobes at least 4 times a day. It will sting like bloody hell, but it kills a lot of bacteria.

If that doesn't clear up the infection, she should see the doctor.

Answer 7

Just put some peroxide on it. It'll clear up in about a couple of days. If not, go to a doctor and seek some medical advice.

Answer 8

as a piercer myself i ask here question as commonplace on the type you're able to have signed for consent ;- does she be stricken by diabetes,epilepsy,hepatitis,HIV or taking any anti coagulation medicine. could desire to one in each and every of them like diabetes be underlying? I easily have had this take place to a girl i pierced as quickly as besides the indisputable fact that it take place on internet site and it grow to be by way of marvel, that can turn your lips a tinge of blue. besides the indisputable fact that this could not be for as long as has been state and propose a ref at recent away on your commonplace practitioner as this could be a protracted reaction!

Answer 9

sounds like she is allergic to the kind of metal the ear ring is.

Answer 10

get like 3asprins and crush them up and add it with water! it will become a paste and put it on here ears for about 10mins! i works and helps it heal faster!
