Actually, I'm pretty sure what you're talking about isn't an infection, but actually an allergy--a nickel allergy. Nickel is used to make most jewelry, including gold jewlery, but the molecular structure of gold makes it difficult, if not impossible, for the nickel to leech out. Most high-quality silvers are safe, too, unless you get them wet.
Unfortunately, there isn't much you can do for a nickel allergy except avoid the items that make it flare up. If you react strongly to earrings that aren't high-quality gold, then you need to avoid them. I had to give up belts becuase the nickel in the buckles gave me a rash on my bellybutton, and I can't wear my class ring (which is a silver-platinum alloy) if my hands get wet.
If your allergy isn't that bad, you could talk to her about getting these for special occasions... but these aren't exactly the kind of earrings you'd want to wear to prom. I would just count them out and look for gold and silver earrings. Yes, I know you can only wear 14k gold, but if you're anything like me, a little silver on special occasions won't mess you up unless you get them wet.
Personally, I would save up and look for small gold hoops. They're feminine, but they aren't really girly, and if they're the moderately expensive kind they shouldn't aggravate your nickel allergy.
