Why do I have black pus in my ear? I recently had an ear peirced and I have noticed black pus coming from it.
I've been washing it with salt water but it isn't doing much for it.
What is it and how can I get rid of it?
Thanks :) |
that is very unlikely to be black pus, more likely to be very deep red blood/dried blood mixture
or dirt
keep cleaning it hourly with salted boiled water (left to cool) and a q-tip/cotton bud
don't squeeze it more than once a day if you are doing that.
pus is always white (blood fluids) yellow (mixed with infection) or green (you don't want it green!)

My cat had this blackhead type pimple thing and when it popped black inky pus came out what is it? it was huge like a boil on his cheek, and i barely touched it and it popped. but this black inky stuff came out, i have never seen anything like this. what is it? |
The only person who can tell you what it is is a vet.
Its probably best to see a vet. By the sounds of it there is a n infection. Your cat will most likely need some antibiotics. |
My wife has a sore on her boob and this morning some black pus came out.it didnt have smell.? there is another sore about 2 inches from there its its red about the size of a 1/2 dollar with a big black spot in it. they are both so sore that she cant wear a bra. any idea? |
| She needs to see a doctor right away. It could just be an abscess in which case she needs antibiotics but since it is black in color it could be more serious like cancer. She really needs to have it checked ASAP. |
Black Pus in abscess?? My boyfriend? help? He had this abscess lanced over a month ago, and now it is back. So he decided to poke a hole and try and drain it himself. He was successful in getting alot of pus out but when he was squeezing pus out, he noticed black clot things mixed in with the pus. I was thinking maybe dried blood clots. Do you guys have any idea, or any suggestions as to how serious this might be. Thanks. I know its disgusting. |
Your bf did one of the first things that are a "no-no" this has to be drained and flushed out in a hospital environment. The pus, by squeezing can and will go into the fascia (skin layers) and stay there until it's ready to travel, yes, it has a mind of it's own. I know for a fact he didn't get it all out. From there it can travel to other parts of the body and incubate there creating a infection he doesn't want to think about like MRSA. Or, even the flesh eating bacteria.
If I were him I would go to an ER now that the damage was done and tell them what he did so they can clean it properly. Apparently he hasn't been keeping up with his appointments and has let it go. |
I have a black pus like liquid coming out of two wounds from stepping on something sharp in a lake wat do i do? can someone explain wat it could be and wat i should do |
| Uhhhh... if you're serious, you'd better get to a doctor. You will need a tetanus shot, and God only knows what you might have stepped on. You likely got an infection or worse. |
Four years ago my husband had a zit that oozed stinky pus.It popped and now is blue/black with a hole.? It started as a big zitty looking thing that would not pop about 10 years ago. Four years ago it started oozing stinky pus. Now it is flat, blue/black, and has a hole in the middle. It does not hurt or itch.
Anyone know what this is? |
I know what it is....disgusting!
Go to a dermatologist. |
Toe infection- green pus gone, now black? I had an infection recently in one of my smaller toes. Around one side of the toenail it was red and a little bit of green pus came out of it. The pus and redness dissappeared recently, but now a little area under one side of the toenail, and some of the nearby flesh, has turned black. It still hurts a bit if you push on it. Is this anything to worry about? |
Yes, that could indicate blood poisoning. You do not want that to begin the climb upwards to your heart.
You need to get treated medically. Go see a doctor and don't wait. |
Black pus from toe nail? I was clipping my toe nails and noticed a gray area on the corner of my toe near the nail, so I rubbed it and grayish pus came out. What is this? |
| that's even more fake and gay! |
