Ear scab formation not healing.
Dear Doctor, my ear piercing area develops a scab and after cleaning it, a tiny drop of clear liquid comes out and again the scab or crusty layer forms. It's not going away. Itchy at times but no pain, and not bothersome. I haven't worn earrings for 2 months. Please advice what would heal it.
