My cartilage is infected for the 3rd time now since i got this piercing.

I don’t know what i did wrong i clean it EVERYDAY, but anyway now i’m bored of this piercing and it’s problem. I’ve taken the piercing out. The problem is there’s a bump which looks to be filled with blood and some watery thing comes out of it when i squeezed it. But the bump doesn’t get any smaller. This bump is not going away!! It’s at the back of my ear where the piercing is/was. It hurts when i squeeze it but normally there is no pain. Someone told me i shouldn’t have taken the piercing out. But i can’t put it back in now it goes in only halfway, have i done something wrong???????!! What should i do!!

An infection (needs antibiotics) or can turn deadly if it gets in to your bloodstream.

One bad Infection is the flesh eating virus, and there is MRSA. Both deadly.

Do not put the earring back in! And go to the doctor ASAP.
