   Best Answer – Chosen by Voters Don't remove the earrings, it's too soon. Push it from the front so there's a gap between your ear & the earring. Clean it with peroxide and a Q tip, then apply Neosporin or a similar antibiotic ointment with a Q tip because it is infected. Then take a piece of gauze or take a band-aid and cut out a piece of the center of it (the pad part) and put it (with pad part down) between the ear & earring. It won't stick to the ear when it bleeds because of the antibiotic ointment. Then just let it heal, clean it and change it every day but remember the ointment as long as it is bleeding. It will probably take 2 -3 weeks to heal depending on how fast you heal. Take Vitamin B Complex, helps tissue heal faster. Source(s): *work in medical field 20+ years

   That depends on a lot of factors. Bleeding from the ear is hard to stop, just like anywhere on the head, because there is a lot of circulation there. You have to continue cleaning it, and I would advise doubling that with a triple antibiotic ointment you can find in any pharmacy over the counter. If you remove the earrings then that may re-open a wound and also increases risk of infection. Given that you saw puss, even though it was a small amount, and you are having trouble controlling the bleeding I would call your doctor and see if he recommends anything else to be safe.
