I am on my 4th week of having my ear pierce and my right ear began to swell and have a aching pain and a day later it began to bleed. Does this mean I have a infection. Should I have took my earring out or not?

well use surgical spirits on it 5 times a day and if it continues to ache and bleed then take it out. this is an answer to the other question : i pierced my ears myself and i just used a normal straight earring the thinnest one you can find then without freezing it push it really hard or ask someone else to do it for you it isn't as painful as you may think

Take a safty pin, gold earing, an apple slice, a paper towel (to catch the blood, if there is any), peroxide and an ice cube. Numb your ear for about 20 minutes. Then switch it with the apple slice. Sterelise the pin and the front of your ear with the peroxide. Shove the pin threw, and leave it there for abour 20 minutes. Pull it out and put the gold earing in. Don't tahe it out fur at least 6 weeks, and there's how to pierce your ear w/o a piercing gun. THE END

I just peirced my ears two days ago. 2 on top, two on bottom (left ear) and one on top, two on bottom (Right ear). I can see an infection on the bottom and it hurts really bad. If your ear turns a little purplish, gets hard,you bleed a lot, have a lot of crusties, or scab up a lot, you got an infection. I dont know about leaving it in or not cause I had an infection when I was 8 and fought it off.
