Ear piercing infected
I got both my ears pierced three weeks ago. One has healed and has very little agitation but the other one has swollen and there is also a yellowish discharge. I have been applying turmeric for past 4 days. The swelling has gone down but the pain and discharge is still there. Who do I consult- a dermatologist or a physician?
