Cover the area with vaseline, chapstick or best would be an antibiotic ointment. Try to turn the posts around in your ears so they are not stuck in place. The greasy substance should help loosen the backs of the earrings as well as help your ears feel better. As soon as the earrings are out, apply something anti-bacterial to the earring holes to reduce the chance of infection. Before replacing the earrings, dip the posts in antibiotic ointment.

You are supposed to leave them in for SIX WEEKS minimum. Then you are supposed to keep them in all the time for six months after that. If the coach doesn't like it, you can quit the team or not play the game. What do pierced ears have to do with softball?
Clean both ear hole areas with peroxide and a Qtip. Then apply antibiotic ointment around each one, and twirl the earring when you do it. Do twice a day for about two weeks, for them to heel completely.

Sounds like they are infected.I was told to take my ear-rings out and take a needle with thread,thread needle through the hole and cut the thread just long enough to tie a knot,soak your thread with alcohol 2-3 times a day pulling the thread through the hole so that you get alcohol inside the infection.You do this to keep your holes open so they don't close up on you while you are treating the infection.

Just use the ear solution they give you when you get them pierced!!:) Try that a couple of days and see if you can get them off!! It may be too soon to take them out!! They say between 4-6wks!! Its been 5 but sometimes it takes a longer time for the ear to heal!! So just give it time!!:)(:

Please rephrase your question.
It sounds like you are saying that you tried to remove your ears from your head.
Take the earrings out. Treat the piercings with perxoide and neosporin. You will have to wait until they are fully healed before wearing earrings again. You may even have to get them re-pierced.
Studs used for piercing are not "screwed on". They do snap tight to keep them from coming out until the piercing is fully healed.

Put peroxide on them...I went thru this...mine got infected before time to take them out.I had to wait till they healed and have it done over again. After the peroxide...get some neosporin. If you're allergic to neosporin ...like I am...there's something like it that doesn't have the thing in it that people are allergic to (ask a pharmacist). Sorry you had to suffer...just be glad it wasn't a tongue ring.
