My ear was pierced on friday. But on saturday i told my oldest sister that it was in to tight so as she proceeded to loosen it the whole earring came out.(keep in mind this is the second day) so it took us about twenty minutes to put is back in. Then my ear began to swell, bleeding and become extra sensitive. So what should I do?

It sounds infected. Clean it with peroxide a couple of times a day, but not too much because the peroxide will eat away at the tissue if used too often. Then put some neosporin, or A&D ointment on it for a couple of days. Once it begins to scab wash it and pat dry, no more ointment because it will get too moist and will not heal.
Good luck.

Clean the earring good with Bio-Septic found at your pharmacy, then sterilize it with boiling water. When it cools put it back in your ear and clean the ear with warm soapy water then Bio-Septic and cotton ball make sure that you turn the earring so it is getting back inside the hole. Your earring should be gold, a lot of people are allergic to different metals. Gold is the least to be allergic with. Do that several times a day but leave the earring in. Good luck.

No i think you should be ok, if you want the piercing to say open keep an earring in it for atleast 6 weeks, make sure you clean it well with a qtip with the cleaning solution they give you when you get it done. oh and make sure that you wash your hands before you touch it or else it could get infected

Where is your third ear? (maybe i am missing something) Anyways, it sounds infected, I would take it out and let it grow over and then get it done again. Either that or try putting polysporin on it and it might get better.

it can be an allergic reaction , or an infection..... try to clean it with antiseptic solution ...... 2-3x a day..... then if the swelling doesnt go down or the wound itself doesnt heal ...you should see a doctor because you will need prescription for antibiotics..... remember you can develop fever just with infection ... so if you dont feel to well either , better see a doctor.... feel better!!!

just make sure that you keep it very clean. if you got them done professionally then they should have gave you some kind of cleaning stuff, if not then try peroxide or alcohol. Continue cleaning them every day for a few weeks and make sure you DO NOT take them out and change them. If that doesnt help then you should def. take them out.

keep it clean and leave it alone for another day, if the swelling doesn't go down, or gets worse, see a doctor, you may need antibiotics.

Use the medicine that they give you or you can try alcohol, which will obviously will hurt. It sounds like it is infected, so if that doesnt work go to the doctor.
