I have an ear infection where my earring stud is.
To make matters worse, because it is SO swollen, part of my earring stud is literally INSIDE my ear. Like, you can't see the front piece anymore whener the gemstones normally is. That or that part broke off, which kinda doesn't make things any better.
It's swollen, super pain sensitive and red.
Update: I went to an 'urgent care' place, urgent care in quotes cause nothing is urgent there, but they did manage to get the earring out despite how swollen and ugly it was back there. It's all cleaned up now and doesn't really hurt anymore. That or the numbing thing hasn't worn off yet.
But it's out and clean. Def infected, but I already knew that before they told me.
