Clear Yellowish Discharge From Ear Piercing, Skin Peeling. Doing Sea Salt Soaks. Permanent Cure?

Hi,
There can be a sinus tract or recurrent infection in the lobule of the area leading to the production of exudate on a continual basis. Therefore, you should restrict yourself from wearing the ear rings as of now. Keep the area clean and get the piercing evaluated by a doctor. Depending on the extent of the problem you might require to have this piercing closed temporarily to ensure stoppage of the exudate production.
