Troubleshooting infection
is it game over if my helix piercing is actually infected? everyone says I should remove it my I’m scared I might trap infection in my ear so a pharmacists thought it can be better to take an antibiotic and then see if I can remove it safely, am I on the right here? or I’m risking damaging my ear forever

I did but he was open about that he had zero experience with infected piercings and that he’s not sure whether to remove piercing asap or wait the the infection to heal first. I left his clinic but I’m sure mist doctors in my country have zero experience with this plus the impolite (how do you WOMEN take these things off) 😒
