Ears Pierced, Pus Blister, Cleaned The Area. Should I Pop These Blisters?
Got Ears pierced about 5 weeks ago, have now got a pus like blister behind my right ear. How do I treat this? I have took the earring out now and cleaned around the area. Should I pop this? I know it s going to be painful, but should it be done? I have been touching my ears and twisting them nearly everyday. I can understand why I have it.

Hello,
Welcome to health care magic forum.
Thanks for writing to us.
The pierced area has infected resulting in pus accumulation.
I would advice you to irrigate the infected area with betadine,apply povidine iodine ointment.
Usually amoxycillin has to be administered,to relieve underlying infection.
If symptoms persists even after one week,please do visit a physician.
Hope this helps.
