Infection in ear lobe.
Hi doctor, I have pierced my ears past 2 months. the right side of my earring got stuck in dress and got pulled. initially i didn't feel any pain. But gradually it increased. I took off the earring to find swelling on my earlobe and there was severe pain in the back of my head. yesterday I noticed my earlobe getting infected. the pain remains the same in the back of my head. kindly suggest something. thanks in advance.
