I Am Suffering Pain In My Left Ear, What Should I Do ?
I have recently began gauging my ears. My right ear gives me no problems, but my left does. I waited until I had no pain in my left ear before gauging another size. I just found a small, flight bump on the back of my left lobe , near the piercing. It is also slightly swollen, less than yesterday, but still a bit noticeable. What is it and what should I do ?

gauging your ears can introduce infection into your ears.you are most probably having an inflamed and infected lymph node as a result of gauging your ears.you will need an antibiotic.
