Back in September, I got my second peircings in my ear. I went the 6 weeks with the starter earrings in, but then I lost them. I bought a pair identicle to them, but now whenever I wear them my ears hurt so badly, and puss comes out when I squeeze them.
I clean them with special earring cleaner, and I clean out my hole everytime I wear them, and I`ve tried different types like, gold, and different karats. But no matter what I do, my ears can`t stand wearing anything in those second holes! What should I do?
Well my sister just recently got her second holes in her ears too, and its infected sorta, it pusses, and what not, and it hurts really bad. If it stings when you put alchol on it, that means its not healing yet. Sometimes it takes a while for the hole to heal, and sometimes it wont, try putting neosporin on it, to keep something on it so it wont dry out, and to kill the germs. Take a tylanol or advil or something like that, and keep cleaning and applying neosporin, if it still hurts after a few weeks, go to the doctor. Trust me, I went to the doctor for mine, because they never healed, andit hurt really bad, and now i have bumps on th eback of my ears which I now i have to have a plastic surgen remove them.

Well, im not gunna say that because everytime something was infected thats what i used. I even used it on my tragus. So i would definetly do that and in a week you should see a major difference. I would be lost with out rubbing alcohol.

Also, you might want to go to a jewler, and get their opinion on it, ask them what they suggest. Sometimes, pus normally comes out, because its healing, in a good way. But, if its excessivly coming out of your ear, deffinitly go to a doctor. Or, instead of doing what i said first, go straight to a doctor. lol. Hope I helped, happy summer :)

I had that problem when i had first got my ears peirced..i was allergic to some kind but im not quite sure..but they were very excpensive. so i'm sure its because they were the real thing or something. put Peroxide on it 3 times a day and it should help
