Okay. I got my first piercings when I was about 2 months old I believe.. I've been 'gauging(stretching)' since the middle/end of 2008. About 5 weeks ago I reached a 8 gauge in my left ear. I have three piercings in that ear. An 8, a 14, and then a regular sized earring. Two which I got done professionally, and one which I recently done myself(about a month ago). I woke up one morning to find my left ear around the first hole(8g) to be abit swollen. I removed the gauge only to find blood and a pus-like substance to come from the hole. I'm pretty sure its infected, but I'm not sure what to do. I don't want to completely take it out. This morning, I cleaned it and put a 10 gauge in it, afraid that if I dont have anything in the hole, it would close. I can put the 8 back in, but it hurts and sometimes it gets puffier than before- right now its still alittlebit puffier than the right ear which I have 2 piercings done professionally, the second hole repeirced by myself. I need some advice on what to do in order to keep the gauge I'm at, yet make the puffy-ness and pain go away.
The stuff that I used to clean it was a combination of that Clair's healing stuff and Hydrogyn Proxide(sp?)
Please message me or leave a reply here if you can help.
Danke!

Okay, so earlier today I wanted to try something so I took all of my earrings out and soaked them in H.Proxide and then dumped some on my ear in order to clean it.
I asked my grandfather about them(thank god he didnt realize I had pierced my third hole, my grandmother will kill me) and he said that it is infected, to clean it out with the h.proxide and the med.s I'm on temporarily will make the 'swelling' go away.
Im hoping this will work.
Since no one else bothered to leave me any help, and its only been a day, Im just gunna keep updated posts(:<3
