Hi, thanks for your query. It looks that your ear piecing site has become infected. If I were your treating doctor, I would have prescribed penicillin antibiotics + anti inflammatory medicines for 5 days. Local antibiotics ointment like mupirocin can verify applied. Remove your ear ring. Let the would heal completely then you can wear the ear ring. Hope my answers have helped you. Thanks.
