Old ear piercing infection on left ear
Hi, I got my ears pierced a year ago and my left ear is infected (swelling, slight scarring, a little blood, pus coming out and the like). Will amoxicillin help the infection die down? I've also been applying some Neosporin around the infection, does that help at all? Thank you.

Visit an ENT specialist to rule out is it infection or keloid... treatment will be different in both the conditions...
