How To Get Rid Of Scab In Earring Hole?
My daughter earring hole (just on one side) has been forming a clear scab on it for a couple of weeks now. We have tried alcohol, anibiotic ointment, hydrogen peroxide and just leaving it alone. The scab does not want to clear and we are afraid to put any earring in.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. It seems that she might be having irritation due to ear ring. Remove ear ring for some time till site is clear of scab formation.
Apply triple action cream locally. After complete healing, try wearing ear ring.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Ok and take care.

Dr. Ramesh M. Vachharajani
