ear piercing infection?

Question:

Hi I got my ears pierced like 3 months ago and i took out my earrings for like 2 days and tried putting them back in and my right one went in fine but my left one seems to have closed up cause i cant get the earring to go through the back and there's a bump inside. it feels like its infected what should i do?

Answers:
you may need to wear hypoalergedic earrings, you have sensitive ear lobes majority of people have the same problem.

wait till it heals then get it repierced,if the other one is fine keep a stud in it so it won't close as well,when you get your other ear repierced put the matching one in,but wear hypoalergedic ones
get them right at a shoppers drug mart store.

use alcohol to the infected area and soak the earrings in peroxide as well .
good luck

Swelling is a sign of infection.

Other signs that can happen on their own, or together in any combination are:
Heat
Redness
Pain
Discolored Discharge

See your doctor immediately if this persists for more than 72 hours, especially if it does not respond to ice.

Try ask someone put back in again. And do not open them until 6 months. Because if you open them and want them back in, they'll close.
