Suggest Treatment For Swelling And Soreness In Ear Lobe
What should my husband do for earlobe which is slightly swollen and red. There is a crusty scab-like area. A couple of days before there was no redness, swelling or scaliness. Only a very small white headed pimple in same general area. He had applied clearasil type product on the the pimple

hello there ,
other than waiting for the slight inflammation to pass away there is the spirit swab that he can apply on the area for a soothing effect .. an astringent would be better perhaps..i don't foresee the lesion to become purulent so application of Clearasil is fine by me.. wait it out for a couple of days and he should be fine.. hope the suggestion and assurance helps..
