Ear piercing area crusted
Hi drs. I had to remove my gold earring as the piercing kept secreting clear fluid little by little and it'd get crusted. Cleaning it made it ooze again and crust up. It doesn't hurt but doesn't get fixed for weeks. The surround area looks tender maybe from being wet and dry and wet n dry repeatedly. I stopped wearing earring for weeks and it's still happening. Kindly let me know what's happening and what to do to stop it. Thanks.
