I just got my second holes pierced on my earlobe 3 days ago. I have been cleaning them regularly and turning them. I make sure my hands are washed before I touch them and I've been wearing my hair up so it doesn't get caught. However, on my right side, the piercing is bringing me a LOT of pain. I can't sleep on that side because it hurts so bad, and when I clean that side, it's difficult for me to press the earring up enough to clean the hole. (On the right side, I can easily push the earring up and see & clean the hole with no problem.) I'm just wondering how to tell if it is infected or not? It hurts a lot when touched and when I look up close, I can't really tell if it's red or anything, but there seems to be some dry skin around the earring itself. The part that worries me the most is that it's really hard to push the earring up and clean it. (I hope you get what I'm sayingl) If it IS just irritated, how long will it last and what can I do to stop the pain? I hope it's not infected
