what has happened is that the blood that forms a scab is also hold the backs in place. If you use a little H202 hydrogen Peroxide and let it soak around the scab it will loosen up all the nasty stuff and you will be able to clean around it but don't scratch it as this will cause it not to heal. Keep it clean
Note; Some one has said use warm salt water to soak and that H2O2 was to harsh, H2O2 isn't to harsh and the warm salt water might burn as you are cleaning around the sight

I have lots of piercings so my advice comes from experience. The earring is meant to be stuck, and there will be a scab for a while...that is good, your body is healing. If you use peroxide or alcohol it will dry it out and actually make it worse. Don't pick at it and try not to touch it at all, except to twirl it once a day, and make sure to wash your hands. It itches because it is healing....I know it can drive you mad, but just leave it! Don't touch! I would recommend going back to the place you got it pierced and buy the solution they sell to clean your piercing with, it really is the best thing. I know you want to take them out, but that is a bad idea because they are not fully healed yet and it can defiantly lead to a nasty infection.

WOW... I'm sry to hear that.
You should get a cotton ball or q-tip ..something.. and wet it in the cleaning solution and try and moisten the back back part or ur ear and piercing.. just in case there is dried blood that is making it harder to pull off.
but other then that all i can say is that when they use the piercing guns it def takes some strength and patience to take them out. GOOD LUCK!!

itching is normal - healing does itch
as for taking them out - you shouldn't be taking them out before 6 weeks minimum (if you do, you might not be able to get them back in easily as they'll start to close, and it'll increase the healing time and risk of infection)
but if you must... to loosen any scabs, soak it in salt water (not hydrogen peroxide - too harsh for a new piercing), then when it's dried, with clean hands try and pull the back off (gun piercings can sometimes bend the back, which will make it v difficult to remove), or get someone and a pair of pliers to help if it won't come off otherwise

i got my ears pierced like two years ago and the same thing happened i put rubbing alcohol on it and it kept it clean and stopped the iching and as for it being stuck it isnt they the gun pushes the two pieces together really tight so they dont fall off you cuz you have to leave them in for a long time.
