What can I do about an earlobe infection?

Answer by  DrColbath (103)

I recommend taking out the earring. You can put a piece of thread through and tie a loose loop to keep the hole from closing. Clean ears with hydrogen peroxide twice a day followed by an antibiotic ointment. If they don't get better in a few days, see a doctor.

You can try to fix it at home by applying a product like Neosporin. If it doesn't help you should go to a doctor and get antibiotics for the infection.

If you have an infection in your earlobe, anti-biotic medicines would be the best method of curing your infection in yor ear.

Your best bet is to go to your family doctor and get an antibotic. If you can't go to a doctor you can lance it. You do this by heating up a needle and make a small hole in the infection to drain it.

Mine is on an inner lobe which I cannot see. It has a sappy ooze and I've tried using dabs of witch hazel & neosporin but it still crusts up. Its been this way for years isn't red, inflamed or painful but annoying no less. Will it ever go away?
