It has been almost two years since I had them pierced. The first few months were fine… then all of a sudden, constant infection…I tried to avoid nickel – but I still get redness, clear discharge, and itchiness (not much soreness). The skin around the holes looks bad. I don’t get allergy to metal elsewhere – necklaces, rings, belt buckles are never a problem. I tried Claire’s solution, Neosporin, alcohol, hydro-peroxide, dial soap, salt water soak. Nothing worked and they only make the skin around the piercing very irritated. I’ve seen a doctor and he said I’d better take them out and let them close. I did – for four months. But the itchiness just wouldn’t stop – and it was so itchy last week that I put them back in (didn’t really hurt at all). Now the discharge started again. What do I do? Shall I try platinum? I really don’t want to give up. I don’t like any other jewelry besides earrings.
