Swollen Ear Oozing Clear, Yellow Liguid And Scabbing In The Area Of Pierced Ear. What Should Be Done?

i had my ear pierced about a month ago and i got a lump on the back of it, so it didnt get infected i put savlon cream on my ear.. after about 2 hours i read the back and it states not to put on your ear, so i wiped the excess off.. in the morning i woke up and my ear was swolen, it weeps clear and yellow liquid and then dries into a scab? what do i do?

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having infection on ear prick giving rise this problem.
Remove ear ring.
Go for one antibiotic medicine course for 3 days.
Apply antibiotic cream locally after proper cleaning.
Within 3-4 days there will be healing.
Ok and take care.
