Suggest Remedy For Ear Scabes With Sticky Discharge
My grand daughter aged 4yrs had her ears pierced 2 months back, her one ear is fine while the other one is giving her trouble, it hurts when the earring is moved or touched or when she is getting her clothes off, there seems to be a sticky liquid substance coming out of the ear with sometimes blood.It seems like its scabbing over the earring. At the moment she is wearing silver rings . We have tried cleaning her ear lobe with dettol & have applied Calendula ointment whenever she permits us to touch her ear. Kindly help. Thanking you

Hi,
You can have hot fomentation over the ear lobe with warm water using a clean piece of handkerchief. Also, once the part is cleaned antibiotic ointment should be applied and keep the site clean as much as possible.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
