Eczema causing infection like symptoms in newly pierced ear?
I just got my ear pierced saturday and it started to scab up noticeably inside sunday night/mon morning so i was assuming the healing process was going smoothly. Today at school my fran said that it looked really red and i noticed that my ears were really hot, and that my face was hot. Later i had others say that my ears looked fine. I got home and took a nice shower and washed them with Dial soap twice during the shower (beginning and end). And twice more after that later in the day. The only places i have had eczema appear is on my legs, upper arm, and stomach. It was a really bad skin rash that spread even when left alone. I used clobetasol propionate cream to clear it all up, but this was over a year ago. And yes, i have surgical steel captives in my ears, 14gauge (contains nickel). So right now ears look fine, feel hot, and face feels hot. Is it the nickel and dial reacting badly that is making me feel this way or what?

Hi, you can try one of the natural treatments available on the Internet (just google "natural treatment of eczema") – some of them do work. For my eczema I use herbal cream by Champori quite successfully. It takes just a couple of weeks to clear the spots and then they stay clear for months on end.
Try it: Champori comes with money back guarantee so if it doesn’t work – it’s free.

I’m about 90% positive that you are allergic to surgical steel. My sister and I are both allergic to it and the same things happens when we use surgical steel jewelry. Go to the store and try to find Titanium or Sterling Silver.
If the problem still persist then I suggest you see a doctor because that seems like a serious problem if it’s not being allergic.
Hope this helped you out!
Best of luck darling.
