Pierced Ears... Bleeding?!


Question:

Pierced Ears... Bleeding?

I got my ears pierced about 3 months ago and everything was great with them... I did everything I was told to do for 2 months. Then I decided I was sick of my silver starter studs and put in some cheap 'nickel free' ones from wal mart. After a week and a half of wearing them, my ears were swelling and hurting. After reading the package again, it turns out they do have some nickel in them. My step mom said i needed to wear real silver or gold so I got a pair of silver ones 2 weeks ago. It was fine at first but for the past week I've noticed my ears bleeding alot when I take the earrings out (to clean them). Theres also some white-yellow junk and dried blood on the earrings. They dont hurt at all and I still put peroxide on them every other day to keep them clean... What could be wrong? I thought maybe it was just the change of earrings but it shouldnt take this long. Please help! Thanks!


Answers:

Your ears are infected. Leave the good pair in your ears at all times until a good 6 months have passed from the date you got them pierced. Also, go to the place you had them pierced and get ear solution to clean your ears. Don't use alcohol. If the infection isn't gone in a few days, you'll need to go to your doctor and get an antibiotic for your ears.
