Get somebody to help you, a doctor or an ear-piercing professional. When I've had this happen, usually it's just that I need to wiggle the earring a little more. Sometimes the hole isn't perfectly straight through, and you have to wiggle and ease it this way and that to get it through. But, you could be having an infection or another problem, and it helps to have help
Neosporin sure wouldn't hurt if you think it might be infected. And since you apparently react badly to some types of metal, be sure to only buy earrings that don't make your ears do that, next time. Some people can use hypoallergenic; some require only pure gold or silver. Ask your doctor for advice if you're not sure what metal is best.

This happens to women all the time. You irritated or reinjured it (pierced ears are basically an injury right?) and it is trying to heal by closing the "wound". I personally can't wear "hypo-allergenic" earings, or that happens every time; I can only wear gold. you may have to have it repierced, but this early you can probably break the new skin with a little pressure - if it hurts you are pushing on the wrong point or it is too far gone to do at home. If you decide to try this be sure to dip the stem first in rubbing alchohol or something else to sterilize it then dip the stem in a tube of neosporin (goes in easier and helps with the minor pain). If you see pus, lots of redness, any blood or colors that skin shouldn't be - see a doctor. Good luck and God Bless.

wait for a few days for the swelling and irritation to go down. this normally happens when you leave an earring out for a few days. it's not completely closed though, but it's probably really swollen now for all the poking and prodding you've been doing to it.
For now put rubbing alcohol on your earring hole where it's red and let it dry up itself. it will stings a little. do this for the few days that your waiting. when it doesn't sting anymore... then it's time to put the earring back in.
Just find the hole in the front of your ear, and slowly wiggle it in, someitmes it takes a few tries, but be patient and eventually it will go through, you have to be alittle firm , but don't jam it in. Once you get it back in, don't take it out for at least a month, just keep putting alcohol and turning it.
If all else fails, go to a piercing place for help.

that's terrible. someone requested a question in newborn and infant about in the experience that they could get their 6 month infant's ears pierced. i fairly do not understand it?! Why would you positioned your infant through that discomfort? It would not 'look good' it has no medical objective - it extremely should be unlawful as a lot as a real looking age. If a baby can opt for to do it then through all skill with parental consent then why do not you, yet a touch one?! I had my ears pierced for my 9th birthday - I requested and my Mum paid a good class to bypass to a extra intense priced position (definately no longer claires!) to make optimistic that the fellow doing it become qualified and the kit sparkling. I easily do not have the different piercings, and do not favor any extra - i do not extremely like them, except ears. i'm able to't imagine wanting to attempt this to my infant. he's a boy so it really is totally not likely besides, yet i does no longer do it to a touch female both - it really is only so incorrect!

OK when did you get it pierced? If i was just the day before then when you took it out the hole closed up. The backs of the earrings are usually stubborn so it doesn't come off when your ear is healing. The redness if probably just from messing around with it. Stop before it gets infected. Just let it heal up and get it repierced.

Go here to find info to fit your EXACT situation.
If necessary, you may need to have it re-pierced with a needle NOT A GUN! Do not take the piercing out, if it is an older piercing use a hoop or captured bead ring in it so it can move freely. Cleanse it every day. Liquid Bactine is great and has an anesthetic effect to take and numb any pain away. You have to keep the hole open so the ear can drain to avoid injury or infection. Do not let it just close up or it will fester and get worse or harden and create a lump or scar tissue.

It's probably infected. Get some neosporin quick!!! Don't put in any more earrings until healed. Your hole may close up but it's worth it to let that heal. U can always get it pierced again. When I was young I pierced my own ears and they got infected. I kept earrings in them and my lobes swelled up around the earring. I had to go to the hospital and have the earrings taken out and it was NOT fun and I now have scars.

Soak the earring in alcohol to kill any germs you may have put on it from handling it. Wash your hands really good, get a washcloth and get it wet with hot water...as hot as you can stand... and hold your ear with it for a few minutes to soften the skin around the hole. Then push the earring through. Good luck! :)

It will sting alittle but you have to put it in thru the front and have someone help you from behind and when they see the back of the hole puff out push it thru and then for like a week keep twisting it in your ear.

Just shove it through as hard as you can. It'll go through, but it will bleed minimally, and probably hurt you a little bit. My eyebrow piercing closed up a while ago, and I had to push the barbell back through it. It doesn't really hurt.
