    An infected ear piercing may show signs of redness, swelling, soreness, warmth, itchiness or tenderness. Pus or blood may ooze from the piercing. A new piercing is an open wound that takes several weeks to fully heal, during which time bacteria can enter and cause infection. Common causes of infection are not cleaning the piercing properly or changing jewelry too early in the healing process. Symptoms of infection can usually be treated at home by cleaning the piercing with saline solution.

    An infected ear piercing may be red,


    swollen, sore, warm, itchy or tender.
    Sometimes the piercing oozes blood or
    white, yellow or greenish pus. A new
    piercing is an open wound that can take
    several weeks to fully heal. During that time,
    any bacteria (germs) that enter the wound
    can lead to infection. Apr 2, 2021
