The other day I wore one of my sister's earrings. I had forgotton to wash it first because she told me that she can't wear certain earrings and that her ears bleed or something like that. After i wore hers my ears started bleeding and had a black dot on the hole wear you put the earrings in. What do I do? does that mean I'm not gonna be able to wear earrings again? is there a solution for this? are there certain earrings I should avoid?
oh, and by the way, I'm not a man. I just couldn't change the picture above.

nickel allergy. Get 100% stainless or gold or silver. Caused by cheap earrings. I have this too.

Go buy neosporen and a brand new pair of sterling silver earrings. Clean your ears really well then put neosporen on but the earring and your ear. Then put the earring on, I suggest something plain like little balls. You will be able to wear earrings again but do this for like a week and take them out a few hours a day to let your ears breathe and get air to them so they can heal. Just don't share earrings again. If you have to though soak them in alcohol for like 5 min before wearing them.

I'm not a man either but I can't change my avatar or whatever it is either. You are just having a chemical reaction to the earrings. Some people can't wear real gold. In your case, it could be this or they could be nickel coated. Just put some topical antibiotic on your ear holes - like Neosporin. It will go away. But it may keep re-occurring. I have the same problem.

You should be careful around certain types of earrings. Some people have reactions to certain types of materials used to make the earrings. If you have a black dot, go to the doctor asap.

no worries hun. i have had to re-pierce my ears 7 times. I found out when i was 14 that i was allergic to all jewelry except gold and sterling silver. earings would make my ear holes bleed and i get little red bumbs all over. This also would happen with necklaces and braceletts. Also a lot of people are allergic to nickel. so make sure it's nickel free.

I often merely placed on those ordinary white gold hoops in my first holes and that i've got a pair of diamond studs for the 2nd holes. Hell, I forget I unquestionably have them on by way of fact I not often even take them off. Get some ordinary ones, you're merely no longer a gaudy style! *sending sketches and living house handle to Liberty* She did advise each and every physique, exact?

it sounds like the earrings were made of cheap metal, avoid earrings that have nickle in them

the black dot on the earhole is just from the metal post....you know when you where a cheap ring and it turns your finger green? Well that is what it is.....Pure gold does it to me too so its not just the cheap stuff....as far as the bleeding i dunno

clean your ears with peroxide until it clears up.
