Okay, first off I have had my ears pierced for at least 7 or 8 years. I had my ear cartilage pierced at Piercing Pagoda. I only had a problem with my ears being allergic to nickel after a year of having them.
Now, this past weekend I decided to wear my birthstone studs I got when I first got them pierced and after wearing them for maybe fourteen hours, I came home and my ear was painful to touch (Btw, I never had a problem with these earrings before). I quickly took out my earring, thinking the pain would subside, but after two days it still hurts.
When I touch it is quite painful and slightly swollen. When I push the piercing from the back the hole itself is really red and gross. I know it is either reacting to some sort of metal or they are infected. Any suggestions would help.
