Are Throbbing And Bleeding After Stitching An Infected Earlobe A Cause For Concern?

Hi, I just got stitches on my ear lobe today, front and back because I had a piercing infection and they had to scoop it out. It s bleeding red now the whole day, little by little, and it seems to be throbbing and it s like I can feel a heartbeat. Is this normal? Also should I avoid touching it?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is the infection part then it need to be managed correctly else healing would be late and not just this it may make the wound worse all stiches would be gone, so better treat the infection first and best drug would be "Tab Amoxicillin with Clavulanic acid" and then there would be no problem hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
