ok so for the past 2 days or so ive had this little sore bit on my ear. its the bit that joins to the side of my head at the top, i havent used anything round there. it doesnt look too obvious, but it feels swollen and basically feels like its just been pierced. any ideas?

    ive had that too never seemed to come to anything. I dont have my ears pierced... just leave it unless it really starts to worry you.

    I've had this many many times. I normally use a bit of E45 or Aqueous (sp?) cream on it and it normally reduces the soreness pretty quick.

    Dunno if that will help ya's.

    Good luck!

    but it has not been pierced right? it might be infected. I would use bactine which will sting a bit and then i would use triple anti-biotic lotion, and if it's not gone in a day, call you doctor!

    my ear is pierced at the top of that ear yes, but i took the earring out yesterday (never had problems before) and the sore bit is right at the top of my ear where it meets my head, no where near the earring.
