I recently got my ears pierced and now i have a couple little itchy bumps on my ear lobes. I clean them twice a day like i'm supposed to, i got them 4 weeks ago so i can't change thme for two weeks! I don't have a fever but my lobes and reddish and warm, only slightly. I'm wearing hypo-allergenic earrings...i think...that's what the lady who pierced them said. i really don't want to have to take them out! What do I do???
Help!

Remove your earrings for some days.
Everyday apply a coconut oil or any other good quality oil to your earlobes as much time as possible through out a day.
You can apply ice on the swollen part.
After some days take some water and add a pinch of salt in it and keep applying to your earlobes.
After that keep applying talcum powder for a day or two.
Now you can wear your earrings again.
Have a good luck.

Not everything marked "hypoallergenic" really is. My wife can't wear certain earrings marked hypoallergenic. They make her lobes red and her ears itch. Has something to do with the alloy used in the posts and reactions to the chemicals/oils in her skin. She also can't wear any jewelry that is gold unless it is 18kt or better. She has acidic skin condition and anything less than 18kt turns her skin green or black. I married a chemical/jewelry nightmare!!!
I'd suggest cleaning them out with alcohol and using Mycitracin, Bacitracin, or Neosporin...they're all antibiotic salves that should be available in any store/drugstore. If it doesn't clear up in a few days, see your doc for a suggestion. Good luck.

Sounds contaminated. in case you are able to, positioned a 14K gold or surgical metallic positioned up in the piercing. do no longer use something. as quickly because it rather is in, do no longer do away with it for a jointly as. bathe the section with peroxide on a cotton ball quite a few situations an afternoon, and turn the earring each and every so often. could desire to clean up in some days, yet go away the earring in till finally it rather is thoroughly healed.

Are you cleaning them with alcohol? You might have to have those earrings changed with real gold ones... some people are allergic to anything but gold. I have a 6 year old daughter and any pair of earrings that's not gold makes her ears sore, red and it can go really bad...

Could be you are allergic to your earrings. Try the ones made for sensitive ears. My Mom couldn't wear any; even gold.

Sounds like you have an infection and those posts may need to come out. See your doctor.
