Ear piercing infection
Hi, I recently got an infection on my earlobe piercing, its not a new piercing, I just woke up one morning and felt it itching really badly. I have always worn gold earrings only as it is known to be less prone to cause infections. I started putting foban cream when it first started itching, hoping the infection would go away. after 2 days, it became swollen and painful. I went to the pharmacy & they gave me mupirocin ointment & seratiopeptidase pills. Is that sufficient to stop the infection?
