Eear piercing, not healed yet... Options

[azn hunni xox]

Umm, see, I got my ears pierced back in the Summer... and they still aren't healed. I waited the 6 weeks to change my earrings, but it still hurts to put them in. Could they be infected? I don't know how though... I've cleaned them with an ati-septic every day of those six weeks, and frequently after. But, still, the first time I took them off, and put new ones in, it hurt.

Hmm, feel free to close this if you want. I did search for other topics like this... but I'm not sure if it would fit into the infection ones

So... any idea what's wrong?

[edit]
Sorry I spelled ear wrong.

[lyin_in_wait]

they might be...but i dunno because i got my second hole in my ear lobe done in 6th grade and it still isnt healed completely (and that was 4 years ago...) i think its because i keep taking out my earing to soon...but the holes not infected

[xj_liana_tx]

i put mine in for like.. about half of a year

[lovescream]

I had mine since 6. Maybe you're not allowed to wear those kind of earrings. It happens.

[Chii]

i got my second holes done last year, they're fine now, but it's probably since when you put in a new earring, you miss the back hole

[usagimoon72287]

i got my second whole done since i was in the 7th grade but it healed after that, but maybe you should use alchol or something it might burn but it will help the healin process or use peroxicide, it maybe take some time.

[angel-roh]

Hm it's probably the infection? Cause even though you take care of it, you can still get them. It happened to my mom. If it's not an ear infection, you should check out with the doctor unless you don't want to cut your ear down

[toodlepops.]

check with the doctor. umm, maybe you can only wear gold? iono

[bad_girl]

dont put new ones on until it doesnt hurt, then. that's what i did and now it's not infected anymore.

[*islandgirl4eva*]

They could be. That's the same thing that's happening to my best friend's eyebrow piercing, and she got hers more than a year ago. You should go back to the place where you got it pierced ot go see a doctor.

[*wind&fire*]

INFECTION!!!!!!!! use methylated spirits if they are....

i had mine in for a year..

[LiLrEbL365]

just wait before changing them again. leave some nice gold studs or something in them so that you can leave them in until they dont hurt anymore. you shouldnt change your earrings if they hurt. and if it doesnt get better, you should probably just let them heal and get your ears repierced when they are healed.

[inthemudhole]

Er.
Earlobes or cartilage?

[giggl3s]

everybody's healing time is different but i think it's normal for it to hurt when you change it, your ears gotta get use to it

[lilJdawg]

Maybe, it takes longer to heal for you, just leave on the ear rings you first wore when you got your ears pierced & wait till it doesn't hurt? Ask your mom or the ear piercing person.

[inlonelinessidie]

It's most likely infected. Sometimes your body rejects a foreign object and this could be the case. Just take them out and they'll close up.

[*salcha*]

i have no idea///
never gotten my ears pierced, maybe someday,

[ApunBindaas]

You're suppose to keep it like a month or so. Everyone heals differently too

[sunissed14127]

it sounds like you might have an infection, but i'm not sure. I'll ask my mom because she's assistant manager in claires and she pierces ears all the time. I'll post whenever i find out!

[leeniex3]

its probably because you keep touching it ... i got my bellie ring .. in da summer .. and then in da winter it wasnt infected until i started touching it to change my bellie ring .. sooo yeah

[sheepy]

well.. are the earrings you putting on real?

[weirdness]

i have no idea///
never gotten my ears pierced, maybe someday,

same..
my friend cant wear "fake" earings or else she'll get an infection
maybe you're like that too

[LiLaZnGirL122]

well i got mai ear periced wen i was lik born haha well i noe how u feel wut u do is take OUT da earing and put ice on it den jus dont wear earrings for like a week den it should b healed thats wut i do and it works jus fine and mb ur wear fake earings so u might b sensitive so mb use like real gold?

[minus_perfection]

you should use peroxide or achohol to clean it instead of antiseptic.you should also ask your doctor if you can only wear 14k earrings.i think piercing your ears at a store like Claires and stuff will cause an infection,its happened to me before.

[azn hunni xox]

Thanks everyone =].

Um, it's just a love piercing.

And yeah, I only wear silver and gold earrings now. Whenever I wear
the other kinds overnight the hole bleeds sometimes, and has this...
umm... stuff coming out.

Hmm, but thanks, I'll try some of your suggestions ^^.

Yeah, I always get my mom to put the earring in cause I'm liked scared
to do it myself. --; She always has to go in from the back first...

[HelloSunshine]

Hmm..it might be the earing, like me, most of the ear rings that I can wear without getting an infection have to be gold. Hmm..yes yes...

[Animeloverhk93]

hmm if u just got your ears pierced isn't there a certain time when u can't take it off? mine are healed considering i got mine when i was 2 years old hehe. But i guess it just takes time to heal.. i guess u don't keep taking it out then putting it back in. mine healed b/c i kept it on everysingle day never took it off onless i change my earing and shen i go swimming.. so i guess it just takes some time to heal

[HoodieObsessed]

this is exactly why my ears arn't peirced

the other reason is that my mom wont' let me.

but...why cut a hole in your ear? what is the point? gosh....stupid fashions...

[azn hunni xox]

K, thanks guys
Didn't know this was active still...

My ears are fine now though.
I just had to take the earrings out for a while
Then put them back in, and leave them for another month.
Oh well, thanks again

[aznxdreamer]

weird. i took mine off in about four weeks and the first day i got it, it didnt hurt at all when i twisted it around and stuff. maybe thats just me..my ears like..invincible. i stuck seven staples in my ears and they didnt get infected.

[yupimchuck]

I got my first ears pierced when I was a baby.
So i dont really remember that
but ive had many, many more since hen.

maybe you didnt clean it enough? if i were you id go bck to the place i got them done and talk to them. dont put fake gold/silver earrings in.
your ears may be irritated to the stuff the earrings are made of?

[SilverInandescen...]

I pierced my own cartilege with the same earring that I got the first piercing with and mine healed in a week. I swam with it and stuff the day after because I had swim practice and they're fine.

[ItzOnlySydney]

it took 2-3 months for my first lobe ones to heal. my 3rd hole in my right lobe has closed up. gosh i'm going to have to re-pierce it..again.
