- Do not take the earring out. You risk trapping the infection in the hole. If this happens you will have to go and see a doctor and get it drained.
- 2Continue with normal after care and usually the infection will heal up on its own without medical intervention. Proper aftercare instructions are listed in the following steps.
- 3Get some antibacterial or antimicrobial soap, make sure that it is free of dyes or scents.
- When you're in the shower gently remove the 'crusties' from around your piercing using a q-tip, cotton ball or your clean fingers.
- Then lather the soap on your hands and work it over your piercing, rinse thoroughly and pat dry
- 4Sea salt soaks are also good for clearing up infections.
- Soak your ear two to three times a day in a solution of sea salt and warm water (8 ounces of warm water for every 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt).
- Each soak should last three-five minutes.
- 5If the infection was caused by poor jewelry (not an infection but an allergic reaction) go to a piercer and have them change the jewelry for you. Good quality jewelry is titanium and niobium. Gold also works for most people
