Best Answer

Skin is covered with skin oil, not just the ears, but the entire skin surface. This skin oil like any oil can break down with heat and turn rancid (thus the smell) and support bacterial and fungal growth. Good personal hygiene (bathing or showering daily) will prevent the growth of bacteria and fungal matter. Ear piercing must be cleaned daily to ensure happy and health ear piercings. Can you get a fungus from ear piercing, No, not if it's done by a professional body piercer working in a licensed facility using Aseptic techniques and sterilized equipment.
