What Causes Black Crusty Stuff In Ear Ring Holes?
I had my earrings for a long time and when I decided to change them there was black crust stuff in my earring hole and it was packed like my earring hole too. It never hurted. My mom had to pick it out of my ear and wanted to know what was it and why is it there.

Hi,
It seems that there might be having some collection of dirt made crust due to perspiration and water.
Clean the site with alcohol.
Afterwards make practice to clean piercing hole while taking shower.
Ok and take care.
