This May Sound A Bit Disgusting But...?!


Question: This May Sound A Bit Disgusting But....?
I had my ears pierced a year ago. They have been fine, except in my left ear it throbs and itches when I put an earring in, and a lump appears in the back and it stops the earirng from going in. You have to pop it and this smelly white soap-ish gunk comes out of it. The other one is perfectly ok. Health Question & Answer

Sounds like you may have an infection. I would definately see a doctor about that. If you don't want to do that, start cleaning it regularly with peroxide and water solution. Somtimes they will clear up on their own.Health Question & Answer

The white stuff is likely to be sebum. I get it sometimes without piercings. It is like a sebaceous cyst, which you have vented. Basically sweat and body oil. To stop this, a doctor is needed. Go now, while you still have an earlobe!Health Question & Answer
