I used to have my ear pierced and the scar tissue is hurting in my ear!!??


Question:
it was a few years ago but it hurts wheni touch my ear lobe now. should i push an ear ring through it because it feels like i have some infectin i need to squeeze out?? dunno what to do but its getting annoying??
thanks in advance

Answers:
Try massaging the lobe frequently with an emollient, such as E45. (you can buy this over the counter). Sometimes this may help to make the scar tissue more flexible. Please don't even think about forcing an ear ring through the old site - you will certainly wind up with an even bigger problem than you have now. If the area is infected, then it will be hot, red and sore to the touch. If so, then you need to see your Dr.
