I had my ears pierced 10+yrs ago. To this day when I wear earrings my ears burn and turn red. The next day they are filled with puss. I have stopped wearing earrings for many years now but my ears still get hot and fill with puss from time to time. Also when I feel of my ear holes it feels like there is a "bump" or "hard round something" in the hole. I try to pop it to get this "thing" out but nothing ever does, except puss from time to time. Has anyone ever had this or know what this is?

Whenever I got my nose pierced it got infected and i got the "bump/hard round something." I asked what to do where I got it pierced at and they recommended putting "Tea Tree Oil" on it. It went away in like 3 days.

you sound exactly like me. i have had my poor ears pierced so many times, the lobes, second holes and my cartilage. i have very sensitive skin and any earrings i wore, they immediately got infected. there is a solution though, i promise (at least it worked for me!) the earrings i wore were the main cause of the infection. any jewelery i bought from wal mart, target, clothing stores all caused infections. its because they were fake. my ears were too sensitive for fake earrings, whatever they were made with irritated them tremendously. i now only have two holes in my ears, one in each lobe. my boyfriend just bought me pearl earrings for my birthday and they are real gold backs. i wear them every day, and have not once had an infection problem since. i also had the little bump thing, and it is gone now. i would suggest buying a pair of real earrings (gold, silver, platinum) or asking for a pair for your birthday/christmas, or whenever. if you cant do that just yet, clean your ears twice a day, morning and night and all the earrings you have tried to wear up to this point, probably wont be good for you to wear anymore! good luck!

you have an infection. Also sounds like you are allergic to some types of metal. Stick with stainless steel only, sterilize them in alchohol or hydrogen peroxide before putting back in. Clean the ears at the piercing with alcohol or hydrogen peroxide daily. You may need some anti biotics to kick the infection.

that hard thing you feel in your ear is scar tissue.....as for your constant infection, perhaps it is because you are trying to pop it? also, when you were putting the earrings in did you clean them before hand? it also makes it worse when you keep messing with it, so just put some neosporin on it, and leave it alone. then if after you do that, and it still becomes infected, you should make a visit to see your doctor. you shouldn't be getting an infection in the ear for no reason. (obviously)

your ears are probably infected...clean them with a disinfectant and take ur earrings out until it heals up all the way...and be careful what earrings u wear...some people have sensitive ears and can only wear certain kinds of earring if the swelling doesn't go away in a few weeks see a Doctor it could be serious.

It's probably infected, this happens to my ears almost every time I wear earrings. So I've started cleaning my earrings with alcohol and my ears with hydrogen peroxide every time i feel like they're about to get really infected. Hopefully this'll help you too.
