Why is my ear itchy and swollen all of a sudden?

Is my ear infected? It's very itchy and swollen.?

  • So I got 2 cartilage piercings a couple of months ago. About a week ago it started to itch so i began to scratch it. When my mother saw the scratch marks she immediately told me to take them out. After i took them both out it was scarred and had some open scratch wounds. I began to clean it very often and the wounds healed. but now my ear is very itchy, red, and very puffy and swollen. What should i do? Is my ear infected?

  • Answer:

    u might be allergic or something like that. u have to see a doctor so he/she can do the necessary things needed for that to be cured. good luck
