Ok so i gauged my ears and one of my ears is a little swollen. what does it mean?

A swollen earlobe can be red, uncomfortable, and painful. The typical causes of earlobe swelling are infection, allergies, and trauma. While most earlobe injuries can be treated with over-the-counter medications and home remedies, you might want to see your doctor if your symptoms are really severe.Any injury to the earlobe can cause swelling — even an injury as minor as wearing earrings that are too tight. Along with swelling, injured earlobes may be painful and sore.
