Four weeks ago, I had my ears pierced at Piercing Pagoda with white gold earrings. I'm allergic to nickle. I came back four weeks later for a checkup; they said the holes looked fine and I could wear anything that wasnt heavy as long as they had a straightbacked post. I went to Claires with my mom and we got me some cute pairs from the Sensative Solutions collection, not dangling. And I have some sterling silver from my mom.
But I couldnt get the original piercing earrings out! When I finally did and switched them with another pair, it hurt to put them in. It wasnt terrible, but its still pain! Any idea why this could be? I put the original earrings back in, cleaned them, and decided to wait another few weeks. Also. How long should I wait before I wear those pairs of...huge hoops without the post? Just an example. Lightweight metal or plastic of course. I dont my earlobe ripped straight down the middle. Hah :]
thanks

If your piercing is having trouble healing - bleeding, crusting (make sure this is clear scabbing fluid and not pus), still painful, etc. - leave your studs in longer and continue to clean the piercings frequently. If your ears are healing well, you can remove the earrings after six weeks. However, continue wearing earrings most days, and stick with studs. Make sure the studs are hypoallergenic if your skin is at all sensitive. Wait a few more weeks, at least, before wearing any dangling earrings or non-hypoallergenic ones (until the piercing is healed even better)."
