Could Sticky Fluid Discharge From Back Of The Ears Be Due To Earrings?
I don t real know why but there s this sticky fluid coming out at the back of my ears! Is it because of the earrings i wear? I don t wear fake earrings, i wear silver ones! And also , i heard people saying that i cannot wear closed up earrings.. I can only wear gold earrings or the round ones which you clip on your ear! Why is that?

Hi, thanks for your query.
Sticky fluid coming out of the back of the ear, at the site of pierced lobe can bd because if mild infection at that site.
Remove the ear tings until wound heals or wear a small gold earing
I would suggest you to use mupirocin ointment for local application at the site.
Keep ear dry so that the infection heals faster.
Hope my answers have helped you. Thanks.
