What's wrong with my earlobe?

Question

I wore these really cute sensitive solutions earrings from claire's to school. Then when I took them out of my ears that day, my ear piercing hole was black in one of my ears, but the other one was red and hurt a bit. Now the one that was red is healed, and the other one that was black feels like there is a scab or something in it. I just got my ears peirced last year. What should I do? Should I pick out the scab? Help! I'm really worried. :(

Answer 1

leave it for a week. it's probably infected.

your ears might be very allergic to earrings like me so what I do is coat the backs of the earrings (where it goes thru your ear) in clear nail polish so my ears aren't touching the metal. it works for me. good luck!

Answer 2

i had a fifth hole done a week or 2 after it closed up, and it's black too. the blackness is probably caused by bruising.

when you say that you feel there's 'something in it', do you mean like a bump? if it is a bump it's probably infected or still healing. i wouldn't touch it for awhile, just continue cleaning it. it might take a little longer to heal. don't pick at anything, you might worsen the situation. don't aggravate the wound either. if it still stays that way after another month or two, i'd go ask the piercer. if so far it doesn't hurt, no increased swelling or redness, and no other strange discharge coming from the ear, i wouldn't worry about it.

claires is cheap, you can't trust what they say if they say "sensitive" or not. Keep putting alcohol on the infected eat and try possibly neosporin. Try to put an earing in after a few days. If the scab is ready to go , I think the earing should push it out. Definitely five it a few days though

Answer 4

dont touch neither one of them and let them heal. i know its hard but it will heal up faster. those earring from claires are garbage. they say there for sensitive ears and some say things like nickel free and yada yada. you have the same problem like me. your ears are sensitive to certain medals. try gold plated earrings. sterling silver earrings may be ok too. your going to have to spend more, but your ears wont get infected. buy a nice pair of 14k gold plated hoops or studs if you dont like removing your earrings. the stones can be fake, just worry about what touches your ears. you can get a pair of nice earrings even at walmart for under 20 bux. if you wear the fake stuff only leave it in for where ever your going and take it out immediately when you get home. my sister wears alot of those earrings with the thin wires and her ears dont get infected. good luck:)

Answer 5

It seems such as you're development some scar tissue around the piercing website. If this is not painful, do no longer mess with it, this is not risky- this is particularly regularly occurring... yet once you desire to proceed having pierced ears, you are able to desire to placed a pair in quickly. in spite of if this is painful, see a checklist quickly to verify that the scar tissue is forming oftentimes.
