My ears have been pierced since October 11th but I changed them for the first time on Christmas day. About a week later my right ear was hurting so I took it out to look at it better. It was dropping big drops of blood! I cleaned my ear with anteseptic and put the earring back in. It looks fine on the front but the back of the ear is red and dried blood and all crusty. It doesn't hurt unless I touch it back there. I am wearing 14 karot gold earrings and my left ear is fine. I rotate my earrings to make sure they don't get stuck and healed to the earring. I can rotate the left one fine with no problem without it getting stuck at all. When I rotate the right one I have to twist a bit more to get it around. Is it just irritated and not quite healed yet or what?

You are allergic to the metal. Find some earrings that are nickel free. Keep them clean and use plenty of alcohol. It takes about 6 months for piercings to actually completely heal.

Take out your earrings wipe with alcohol and put some hydrogen peroxide on the one with the problem. It will heal them up.
Drop your earrings in a cap of alcohol to sterile them before you put them back in.
You left them in too long, without taking them out and treating your ears.
The above should solve the problem. Repeat as needed.
Always sterilize the stems of your earrings with alcohol before you put them in.
