Can Infection Caused After Tragus Piercing Become Septic?
I got my tregus pierced about a month ago. It got pushed into my ear so I went back to the piercing place to have them push it back out. Since then I've bumped into it and havent taken the best care of it. Is it possible for an infection like this to go septic? If so, what should I do?
