One Piercing Infected - Let Both Close Up?

Post date: 2021-08-02 10:11:55

Last night I realized both of my newish piercings (earlobes) are slightly infected. I took the earring out of my left ear since it was the most irritated and today the hole is healed over enough that I don't want to push it. Should I take my other earring out, too?

Two months ago I got my ears re-pierced by an expensive but well reviewed piercing artist. Both lobes hurt and itched for weeks right away, but the woman assured me this was normal. Fast forward to yesterday and it's clear my left earlobe has been slightly infected for some time and is now bleeding and oozing some green pus. The other lobe was doing the same thing last week. I've taken the earring out and now I'm wondering if I should do both and let them heal over for a few months before getting them pierced again. Advice, please?
