What Does Hard,shiny And Puss Filled Boil On Ear After Piercing, Indicate?
Im 19 years old. I had my ears pierced for about 4 years and never had a problem. Then I started to make the piercing bigger (gauging) and I did it too fast. For te last 3 months a ball is growing and it doesn t hurt. It fills hard, but in the back of the ear it s very shinny and filled with puss. Any idea what it is?
