There are 2 possibilities:

A!. You have an infection!. Buy an antibacterial solution like Bactine and an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin from the drugstore!. Clean your ear-holes and your earrings with the antibacterial solution (be sure to remove all build-up as well)!. Then apply the antibiotic ointment to the holes and the earring and put the earrings back in!.

B!. You are allergic to the metal!. If the symptoms haven't cleared up after you tried treating for infection, buy 1% Hydrocortisone cream from the drugstore and apply to the ear-holes!. You will need to try different earrings!.

1!. You could be allergic to nickel, so buy nickel-free earrings (Claire's has a lot of good nickel-free earrings)!.

2!. If you still have an allergic reaction, try Sterling Silver earrings!.

3!. If you are allergic to the Sterling Silver Earrings, try gold earrings!.

4!. If the gold earrings do not work, try platinum earrings (if you can afford them)!.

5!. If you are still having a reaction, you might be one of the 0!.2% of people in the world who are allergic to all metal!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

These are probably skin cysts!. They are caused by inflammation!. Clean the holes with alcohol and wear only real gold earrings!. It should stop in a few weeks - you'll notice they soften up and no more discharge!. Be careful with cheap earrings and ALWAYS clean earrings with alcohol before you put them in!. You might also put a dab of polysporin (antibiotic ointment) on them to speed healing!. I'm sure this will help but if not, go to the doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

CHances are they are infected but could also still just be healing if you recently got them pierced!. Use cleaning solution that they make specifically for ear peircings for it which you can get at most stores where they do ear piercings!. Plain old Dial antibacterial soap is good too!. You should never use alcohol to clean a piercing though cause it will really dry it out!. Salt water is always great too! If it does not get better after using any of those suggestions I would recommend taking them out!. Good Luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

because they are healing!.!.!.

keep them clean with rubbing-alcohol - if there's a bacteria in your piercings, they could get really infected

if it stings when you put alcohol on them, keep putting it on til it stops - it will stop after you drench your ears for a few seconds!.!.!.

you should be fine as long as you keep them clean - that's the biggest most important rule in ANY piercings!

good luck!! :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

The holes are trying to form a scab and heal!.!.!.!.it's natural, keep a small pair in as much as possible and eventually it will stop!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
