What Causes Recurring Ear Infection Started With Ear Piercing?
My daughter had her ears pierced 21st July this year and one of them got infected september time. We had antibiotics which cleared it up but I have noticed today that it is infected again! She is wearing 9ct earrings and they are the ones that were originally put it. Why does this keep happenning?

Hi,
It seems that due to irritation by the ear ring or sticking up with clothes or fingers there might be having minor injuries causing infection.
If antibiotic is not working then remove ear ring for few days and re apply after healing the wound.
Ok and take care.
