Hi,
It seems that there if infection took place at piercing site.
Go for one antibiotic medicine course after consulting your doctor.
Continue applying neosporin cream after proper cleaning.
After removal of ring there is chance of closing of ear prick.
At present do not remove ring and start antibiotic to control infection.
If still problem persisted then remove ring.
Ok and take care.

Hi!
boil is an infection of skin that starts in a hair follicle or oil gland. At first, the skin turns red in the area of the infection, and then a tender lump develops. After four to seven days, the lump starts turning white as pus collects under the skin.most boils are caused by a staphylococcal bacteria.
You should keep cleaning the skin and applying antibacterial ointment.If you remove the nose pin it will heal fast.A course of antibiotics and antiinflammatory medicine will help if it does not improve.
