I just got my ear pierced about 10 days ago, and since I've had it done it keeps either bleeding or having alot of puss coming out of it. I have 13 piercings, and this is the first time this has ever happened. When I got it pierced, it bled alot too, but the piercer said that happens all the time. Should I be worried? Should I get it checked out if this keeps happening?

Where abouts is the piercing? Certain cartilidge piercings can do that, for example my snug and conch have both been problematic, my conch would randomly start bleeding, and was continuously kicking out a lot of lymph.
Its not really something to be worried about, just baby it for a while. However a trip to your piercer maybe a good idea just to make sure.
Do salt soaks twice a day, dont use anything else such as tea tree oil, as these can slow the healing down.
Hope it gets better

I got my ears pierced when I was small. I think its normal for it to bleed or puss coming out of it. I would keep it clean by dipping a cotton swab with rubbing alcohol and sweeping where it bleeds. I think you should check it out if it goes on after 2-3 weeks. Hope it gets better =)

sounds like it got infected... is this the same place you get all your piercings done?
if it's your ear you should have had minimal bleeding and at most it should only be tender. i don't doubt you know how to care for healing piercings but for it to be pussie makes me think it's infected
none of my ear piercings bled for more than just a few mins after being done, if at all
only my cartilage gave me trouble... kept getting infected so i took it out.

That happened with one of mine piercings .... don't worry... just clean it with salt water and it should stop doing that ..... if it continues on go to the doctor :D or try some cream that gets rid of infections
salt water is better though
and dont worry ... its normal
good luck :D

hiya.....well, for the puss u should apply coconut oil at night after cleaning it with good antiseptic liquid(o'coz ur studd on) n preferably go for a tetnus injection to avoid a bacterial infection. may b if u consult a doctor he may give u sm antibiotics to eat.. visit one if condition is out of control. better do not touch ur infected area again n again.

Apply hydrogen peroxide(low percentage-8%?) to disinfect till it clears up.If it doesn,t start to heal in a couple of days go to the Dr,s.Also let the piercer know about it.

yes, definietly get it checked, that happened to my friend, and she had an infection, or if you got it pierced with a new type of metal or with low quality earrings, you might be allergic to the earring

if you already have 13 piercings and thats never happened to you then yea! you should definitely get it checked out. you never know.. maybe the person didnt sanitize their equipment good enough. it sounds like its infected. dont wait.. it could turn worse!

maybe they didn't use sterile jewelry, or you're just allergic.
i'm allergic to everything but stainless steel. even my ears.
that sounds horrible, and it doesn't sound normal at all. try cleaning it with sea salt and hot water on a q-tip and don't touch it at all.
if it doesn't improve i think you should just take it out.
