Will A Plastic Back Piece Of An Earring Stuck To Earlobe Cause Infection?
Hello, for about a month or two now I have had the plastic back piece of an earring stuck in my earlobe. At first I thought it was an infection or swelling so I had no reason to check for the back piece in my earlobe. I thought the back piece had originally fell off so I replaced it. I want to know if I can take it out at home or if I leave it in will anything happen or will I have to go see a doctor about it. if you can, can you give me an estimate about how much this would cost to fix if I get medical help.
Yes it is better to get it removed as it can cause an infection.The cost will vary from place to place and will depend on your doctor. please dont delay and get it removed soon.
Thanks
