Leave it in if you can before it gets too badly infected, because if you take it out the infection could spread. But yea make sure you use salt water to help dry it out, moisture is bad. Wipe the wet scabs off in the shower, use sterile water to clean it out and sea salt. If it doesn’t get better see you’re local physician they will end up putting you on antibiotics and taking it off to clean it out.
If they are not willing to remove it, alcohol wipes 3x day, with anabiotic ointment. Maybe oral antibiotic if needed.
Let it stay in and clean it with water, clean it with alcohol and maybe salt water cleaning. Yknow let it stay in because nasty shit happens
