I had my rook pierced about a year ago, and everything was fine for the first few months. About 6 months after the initial piercing, it started to give me trouble -- a little swelling, bubbles around the entrance of the piercing, etc. I tried SSS, switching to a barbell, switching back to a ring, everything, but it just wouldn't get better. Finally I decided to just remove the piercing all together -- fa month later, my ear is still pussing. Fast-forward to present day, and the initial site of my rook is back to normal, but the pussing "blob" has traveled outward towards the side of my ear. Now the second "blob" has calmed down, but I'm afraid it may come back.
My main question is -- is this a traveling infection, and am I at risk for ear collapse?? Though is feels and looks fine now, it is possible there is still infection trapped in my ear?
Also, should I be concerned about getting another ear piercing? I would hate to have lasting problems, but I still love piercings!
