infected ear piercing with lump?
so i have been stretching my ears now for the past couple months and i recently went from an 8g to a 6g. My left ear, however, didnt take the stretch as well. it has been weeping and itching for the past two weeks, at first the liquid was green now it is yellow and it doesnt weep as often as before. although, in the last couple days i have developed something that is quit bothersome... i have a rather large lump in my ear next to the fistula.. it doesnt hurt, but when squeezed, it pushes more of the substance out. what should i do? i dont want to downsize at all.. i've been taking it out, cleaning it with dial and hydrogen peroxide [i know it isnt good cause it dries it out but nothing else seems to do the job] after i clean it, i put some neosporin on it and pop the plug back in [which are metal] any other suggestions? besides sss..

You have pussed full cyst or abscess.
You need antibiotics and a Doctor to lance the abscess to allow free drainage of the puss. He will then need to repack the hole for a few days to weeks to allow correct healing.
Sorry.
If you leave it the ear will become VERY sore and your will develop a fever and vomiting as the poison in the puss poisons your body.
That's why people get sick when they ignore infection.
I know first hand!
