I'm allergic to earrings, what can i do?
You heard it right! I can't believe it but I am very allergic to earrings. My ears are pierced so what do I do now? Do I just let them heal over or is there something else I can do?

It could be an infection.
I wasn't allergic to nickel until around 5th grade. It would be constantly irritated, crusty and itchy. You could try soaking your ears in sea salt to soothe it and help it heal. If it doesn't get better in a week or so. You should try getting titanium or hypoallergenic earrings at like Walmart/Target/Other cheapy jewelry stores.

You could go to a real piercing/tattoo shop and get good quality titanium earrings.

I agree with the previous adviser. You're probably allergic to nickel. I have the same problem, but I also experience allergic reactions to silver. I can only wear 14k gold or better. It depends on how sensitive you are to metals.

I suspect that rather than being allergic to all earrings, you are allergic to nickel, which is an element sometimes used in jewellery. Many people have this problem, I actually can't wear any jewellery containing nickel at all without getting a rash, itching or redness. I suggest you look for earrings marked 'nickel-free' or made of gold or silver.
It's likely that the reaction has also caused an infection, so make sure you're cleaning your piercings daily with saltwater or a saline solution.
