Wore Magnetic Earring, Cuts In Ears, Bumps In Earlobe. Help?

I wore magnetic earrings on my ears for about 1 and a half months for 7 hours a day and eventually my ears started growing cuts and making a hole. Now I have quit wearing them or at least 4-5 months and little balls are in my earlobe and on the outside they are red. I need help on how I can get them removed or how to get them out or to try them. Thank you in advance

Hi,

Welcome to the forum. It seems you have sensitive skin and have metal allergy. Avoid wearing magnetic earings made of nickle and other metals that cause you such discomfort.

You can take antiallergics/antihistaminics, it will help you feel better. You can apply medicated oitments like neosporin locally.

Get your ear lobes examined by a dermatologist, you may need some oral antibiotics to get rid of the inflammation and balls that are troubling you. Take care.
