♛ So, I had my ears (re)pierced on about the 18th of last month. I took the starter earrings out for the first time today to clean the holes properly. Left one, fine. The right one however had blood on it when I took it out, and it has occasionally leaked a clear (non-odorous) fluid. Normal, or shall I pop in to the doctors or a walk-in centre to make sure it is ok? ♛
Sounds like it's just leaking a bit of lymph, which is normal in the healing process. Just keep cleaning it regularly and it should be fine. If it starts turning more red, swelling, giving off heat, becoming painful or leaking pus, then you should be more concerned.

♛ Mmkay. I'll probably leave earrings out for a day, do the cleaning x3 or x2 a day as usual, then see what putting a new pair in does. ♛
