How to identify an ear piercing infection?

Is redness on my ear lobe a sign of ear piercing infection?

  • i have had my ear pierced for about 6 months now which should easily be enough time for it to heal..i think. it has been fine but last nite it started to itch and tonite my ear lobe is red where the piercing is. its not swollen there is no puss and it is not painful its just red..but it is still itching and there is a very slight stinging/burning sensation. not really bad and not really painful. just enough for me to notice it..is this an infection? and if so how do i heal it up so my ear goes back to normal?

  • Answer:

    Could be. Keep dabbing it with alcohol. If the problem persists, change earrings for ones with 14k gold posts/wires or stainless steel.
