Answers:
I'd suggest sterilizing the earrings thoroughly by washing them in hot, soapy water and then soaking them in rubbing alcohol for a few minutes!. Then wash that part of your ear with warm, soapy water and apply neosporin to your ear and coat the earring with it!. Put the earrings back in with the neosporin on them!.

Keep the area, inside the holes and out, coated with neosporin!.

If it doesn't get better or if it gets any worse within a day or two, take the earrings out and go to a doctor!. In the future, whenever you borrow another person's earrings, sterilize them first!. And sterilize your own earrings from time to time as well!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

take out the earring and see the doctor !! you may well need an antibioic or you could try a strong antribiotic cream from the over counter pharmacy - there are a couple, or the doctor could prescribe one if you can't find any!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
