Ear Lobes Red, Swollen, Bloody, Put Melagel, Still Hurts. What Should I Do?

Hi, I m a size 00 gauge but one of my ear lobes is red, swollen, and bloody. I took out that gauge and put melagel on it hoping i will help and I down sized it to a 0 guage. It still hurts and is swollen what should I do? Is there a pill like aspirin that will bring down swelling and pain I could take or should I not?

Hello

Welcome in H.C.M.

I have gone through your query regarding red and swollen ear lobule. It is painful as well.

As per your symptoms most likely you are having inflammation of ear lobule, it may be Infective or allergic. It will be better to get yourself investigated for diabetes as such inflammations are very common in diabetic patients.

You may take now-

1- Anti inflammatory.

2- Local application of cream having antibiotic + steroids.

3- Anti allergic.

I wish you got answer of your query.

Regards.
