I got my ears pierced a week ago and now they're infected. What will make it!

PUT DOWN THE SEA BREEZE RIGHT NOW!!!

ooooh that will only make it worse!.!.!.alcohol drys out your ear and makes it worse!.!.

Neosporin is good use that in conjunction with the stuff Claire's gave you !.!.

HOWEVER!.!.!.!.!.judging by what you said!.!.!.I have a strong feeling the red and puffy ear and the fact the earing fell out !.!.!.!.might mean YOUR BODY IS REJECTING IT!.!.!.

keep doing what you are doing and if the puffiness continues!.!.!.and your body is still rejecting!.!.!.!.!.

take it out!.!.!.and leave it out!.!.!.for a while!.!.!.
(and don't try claires again!.!.!.!.I hate to say it!.!.!.ears pierced!? go to the professionals!.!.!.they may cost a lil more but rest assured!.!.IT IS BETTER TO HAVE A PROFESSIONAL PIERCE YOUR EAR THEN a 17 year old who just learned how to use the gun!.!.!.LOL)Www@Answer-Health@Com

If the bump is filled with liquid you need to pop it and put the medicine on it then try putting the earring back in because if not its going to heal and it will make a permanent bump on your ear!. The stuff from Claire's is good but its almost like water so using the neosporin will be good too or try soaking the edge of a towel in it and holding it to your ear peroxide would also be good to have to help clean it because it will bubble if its dirty and it will help you from infecting it again!. Also if your in pain putting a warm towel to it will make it feel better and help it heal!. Just take a damp wash cloth pop it in the microwave for a few sec's to warm and then hold it to your ear!. Hope this helps!.:)

Take out the earrings as it sounds as if your allergic to them!. It is possible to be allergic to the metals in pierced earrings!. I am allergic to the so called "hypo-allergic" ones!. Hypo actually means they are stainless steel!. I can only wear 14K and up gold, real gold not plated!. That also means I cannot wear titanium or platinum!.

If your current earrings are the ones you get at the store when they pierce you, throw them out and buy one very nice pair of REAL gold, not filled or plated and use them!. Do not wear anything else until your ears heal and if they don't heal and stop swelling in a day, take them out and see a doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I would try peroxide or alcohol to clean out the piercing and continue the Neosporin!. If it doesn't seem to get better, I'd just let it go until it heals on its own and then try it again later!. Oh, and try to leave it alone unless you are cleaning it, so you don't add more bacteria to the infection!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hmm!.!.!.you might just want to let it heal and then get it repierced!. Or if it heals before it closes up, just put it back in!. You never want to mess around with an infection like that!. Just keep cleaning it and DON'T put the earring back in!. Next time, you might want to try a different metal cause you might be allergic to the kind you're using!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

you have to STOP putting all that stuff on them! omg no wonder they are infected!

You should probably take the earrings out!.

if not, you need to get epson free sea salt from whole foods!. mix in a teaspoon with a cup of warm to hot water and soak each ear for at least 5 min in the water!. then when you shower you need to use some antibacterial soap on the area to clean it!.

make sure to keep them clean!.

dont get anything else pierced til you get used to cleaning it right!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

whatever you do don't use rubbing alcohol this will not heal the infection but make the healing process longer!. Use the cleaner that was given to you religously!. If you go back into claire's they can also re peirce it for you in the same spotWww@Answer-Health@Com

I always used alcohol My doctor told me to soak my earrings in it and to soak a cotton ball in it and squeeze it into the hole in my ear while turning the earring to make sure it gets all the way through the hole!. If it gets worse though, see a doctor!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
