Can Ear Ring Stuck In The Skin Cause Any Infections?
My daughters earing stud got stuck inside the front of her ear under the skin. We pushed it through and took it out. We then cleaned it really well and put a clean, sanitized earing back in. Is there anything else we should do? Should we take the earing out completely?

Infectious Diseases Specialist, Dr. Arun's Response
Hello, I understand your concern. I am Dr. Arun Tank, infectious diseases specialist, answering your query.
In my opinion you should take out the ear ring for few days until the infections got cleared up.
Take good care of local hygiene, do three times cleaning with sterilised normal saline. Do twice daily dressing with betadine and neosporin powder.
Do not cover it with bandages. Make the ventilation effective. It will fastens the healing.
I will be happy to answer your further concern, you can ask me on bit.ly/DrArun. Thank you. Dr Arun Tank Infectious diseases specialist.
