Suggest Treatment For Pressure In Ear

Hello, I gaged my ears about a year ago all the way to a 0 and I did honestly do it to fast but I stopped at 0 because that s how I wanted them. I ve been at 0 for at least 4 months and every day there was a white gunk thing and they smelled bad, and I started developing small bumps around the gage that can be felt on the top and bottom of the lobe in the same spot and they are really itchy.i decided to take out the gages and let them close (and they got small amazingly fast) but the bump is still there and now my ear lobe hurts and kinda stings, and I feel like a weird pressure in my ear, what is this and how can I make it go away?

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi.
Gagging was a wrong decision.
Doing anything unnatural will always cause problems.
The presentation at the moment can be due to superadded infection with bacteria and/ fungus.
I would advise you the following:
Get a course of an antibiotic anti-allergic medine and see the results.
A second opinionof an ENT surgeon will help you to get a proper diagnosis and treatment.
I find this answer helpful
