Answers:
Red is not necessarily an indication of infection, just irritation. Keep it clean.

Is the earlobe hot to the touch.? Is there puss.? These are indications of infection.

If you say no to both, you are probably fine.

At three weeks, after having no problems at all, I remember there being some puzzling irritations. Try not to stress too much, but if you do develop an infection, go to the doc.Health Question & Answer

try using surgical spirit that will do the trick.Health Question & Answer
