So for about 3 months now, my ears have been very dry and very sore. I went to the little clinic and they told me to clean them with peroxide. I tried that, and it didnt work. I tried putting neosporin, and regular alcohol on them and they continue to be sore and whenever I put my earrings in (real gold) they hurt really bad and they get hot and swell up. Sometimes, I can't even get the earrings in my ear at all. I feel like I've tried everything. Does anyone have any suggestions to help?
Stop wearing them and seak advicee of an alergist to see if you are alergic to any metals. If you are you may have to have your jewlery made from 18K or better gold or go without. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]
Trauma answered Tuesday October 23 2012, 9:52 pm: I'm not sure about the persistent dryness, but it sounds like you may be allergic to the earrings. I think most, if not all, earrings contain some form of metal, like nickel, which some people are allergic to. I would recommend not wearing those earrings anymore. And if the problem still hasn't cleared up, maybe go to a new doctor for a different opinion. [ Trauma's advice column | Ask Trauma A Question ]
