Well it's a wound, so it's going to hurt for a while. Even store-pierced ears can hurt for a few days. As long as it's not oozing pus and you're taking care of it, don't worry!
i've done 6 of my peircings. i would try to clean it again. or maybe it could be the earrings you are wearing. try using small ones that dont hang from your ear. clean it at least once a day. if it doesnt heal i'd call a doctor
Clean it twice a day with alcohol and cotton. You might have poked it "crooked". Doesn't matter, it will stop hurting soon. Take 2 Advil or aspirin.
The first thing u did wrong was u shouldn't wait so long but u should put the earings right after peirsing. Also it matter what earings u put on. The best one is gold cos if u put some cheap metal it will hurt for long and possible infection. Now then wash your ears with just very strong tea many times a day. My sister was doing this at home to many people, to me also.
Oh i forgot to say if something comes out of your ear wipe it with wet tea bags only, no alcohol
suck it up. i pierced my own nose and it only hurt for like 2 hours.
That was totally dumb of you. You are risking infection by peircing your own body. Whether or not you wash your hand, you don't have the proper sterilizing techniques that a professional peircing/tattoo parlor has. Did you even sterilize the needle? It's not cool to do peircings by yourself, ALWAYS get them done in a professional setting.
It still hurts because home peircings are silly. You shouldnt do them because the instruments that you use to do the peircing wont be steralised and you put yourself at extreme risk of infection. Usually when you go to get your ears peirced professionally, they will use the gun to get the peircing through. My guess is you probably used a needle or a pin? Although ice numbs the immediate pain, once the numbness wears off you'll be in pain again. Make sure you use a salt water mix to clean the area and do this regularly about twice a day. The peircing will probably hurt for the next few days, think about it, if you get a cut on your skin it will usually be a little painful for a few days. Wait a few days and if there hasnt been any pain relief then go see a doctor. Continue to ice the area to reduce any swelling that you might have and using the antiseptic cream regularly is a good idea as well.
