I think I've been bitten by something.<br><br>
My left earlobe is red and swollen. It's oozing yellowish clear liquid. It itches. It's been like this for several days and doesn't seem to be getting better. I clean it with peroxide 2-3 times a day.<br><br>
Should I see a doctor? Or let it go and see if it gets better?

Er - I think I'd see a doctor. Sounds like you have a nice infection going. Probably a spider bite.

I'd call your doc's office and talk to the nurse, then proceed from there.

But I don't wanna! <img alt="sad2.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/sad2.gif"><br><br>
Eww! <img alt="uhoh2.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/uhoh2.gif">

I've gotten that when I wore earings - generally cleared up in a few days. since it's been longer than that, talk to a doc.

ebola?

 

[dcoroner77]

I was thinking the same thing. Sorry MrsC! <img alt="sad.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/sad.gif">

Better have your doc check inside your ear, too. You've heard those stories about insects and ears, haven't you? <img alt="shock.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/shock.gif">

 

[mrscoby78]

Not. Kewl.

I sleep with earplugs AND my mouth closed!

 

[Lintu]

Eh, I've had that happen too, and it just goes away. Don't touch it, and maybe put a little peroxide on.

Definitely strep, and isolation is warranted. You need to go home immediately.<br><br><img alt="razz.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/razz.gif">

 

[mrscoby78]

But I've already been to the library this morning!

 

[Boyerdavea]

Sounds like something might be living in there! Might need to go see the Vet to get that pet out.

 

[muzicgrl]

Its probably just a staph infection. I get them all the time and they generally go away within a few days. If it persists I would go and see a Dr.

I'm guessing an <b>ear</b>wig.

 

[Diane95]

Ear goo epidemic among Southern Indiana library-goers! All 3 of them!

 

[solitude]

Gomes, dear, if your house is dirty enough to have earwigs in it, maybe it's time to step up and help Aero with the cleaning.<br><br><br><br><br><img alt="tongue1.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/tongue1.gif">

I'm not the one who had my ear bit, so I fixed your post for you. That wasn't very nice of you to treat mrscoby that way though. <img alt="sad.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/sad.gif"><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><img alt="tongue1.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/tongue1.gif">
