What Causes Swelling In The Ear Lobe With Blood And Pus Oozing?

Hello I recently sized up my gauge from 16g to 14 g and it was fine for a bit then my right ear lobe swelled up and puss and blood came out, my dad squeezed the puss out I guess and its fine now, but the same thing is occuring with my left ear lobe now. I was wondering whats going on? and how serious is this

hello

It is likely that your left ear has also got infected or you may be having a contagious skin infection like herpes. Please meet your dermatologist, he will examine you and guide you further. Please dont squeeze the pus out by yourself , it can spread the infection. You will also need antibiotics for controlling the infection.

Thanks
