cartiliage in your ear? If so I found I had to go with a closed hoop instead of a post earing. Its also possible that you have an allergy to the specific type of earing your wearing.

I know once I switched to a small hoop and babied it for abit with constant cleanings with the stuff they give you afte the piercing (an alcohol mix stuff i think) I haven't had any problems. But if you want to try the different stud first go with the stainless steel, titanium, pallidum types or studs labeled hypoallergenic.

it might be infected. i'd see a doctor.
