i have diabetes and have had my ear's pierced about 3 month's ago but they have not healed yet. what can i do?

Question:

Answers:
Diabetes is nothing to take lightly. keep your ears clean, very clean. Diabetics cant fight off infection like others can. Dont wear cheap earrings. I can only wear gold without any problems.
It could be your earrings making your ears infected, check with a nurse.

Other Answers:
control your diabetes..

you need to see a doctor if they are not healing.

It's possible you have a nickel allergy, try using simply whispers earrings and make sure you clean them well. If all else fails go see your doctor for some antibiotics. Diabetics take longer to heal anyway. Until you see your doctor use triple antibiotic ointment on our ears after cleaning them well with alcohol and a cotton swab or cotton ball.

cut it off because you dont listen to your doc

Have you tried dabbing them with alcohol? This is what I remember doing to help mine heal when I had them pierced. Good luck!

Do you check your blood sugar regularly? Do you control your diet? Any injury or surgery or a diabetic is risky-- even ear piercing. Please, see your doctor for advice. You may need to remove the earrings
