Ear piercing question?

Question

Right i've left my ear rings out for about a week and when i tried to put them back in i cudn't get them through and there was a ball like thing in there but i managed to push it through but basically my ear still hurts from it and when i push the ear ring in and out it hurts too does anyone know what it is and why it hurts??

and my ears have been pierced for like 2 years now

Answer 1

Use sterling silver earings (silver kills bacteria).  Get anti-septic(LIKE antibiotic OINTMENT), put it on your ear lobes near the hole for one day, Squish all the crud out of your ear PRIOR to medicating that day.  The next day, dip a sterling silver earing into the antiseptic, and then insert SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY into your ear, try to follow the tubing as best you can without ripping a new hole. Every day hence forth wash the earings (either with soap and water well or if you can with alcohol)and then re-apply antiseptic once daily, and make sure you put them back in and keep them in after. (after a few weeks it should be all cleared up.)

Answer 2

Wash your ears very thoroughly with clean water, then leave earrings out for around 2 days. Then put earrings back in and it should hurt anymore. Make sure you use real gold or silver earrings this time, as other metals that can tarnish tend to cause the problem, or make it worse.

Answer 3

You might have a sceptic infection there or you may have made a new piercing in your ear when you pushed the earring in?

Answer 4

um idk what that ball thing is but it still hurts cuz u pushed an earring thru the hole that was prolly about to close up..it'll hurt for a lil bit till it heals again..just keep it clean and try not to touch it too much for a while

Answer 5

look on the embarrising illnesses thing on channel four there was a post on that about somthing like yours.

if they are swolen or slightly discoloured it could be a infection.

ject keep them clean and just keep checking them in the mirror.

u should be fine

Answer 6

the ball thing is just where the skin and stuff inside has beein pushed to the side. they sound infected you need to get real gold/silver ones and leave them out for a hile to let your ear heel

Answer 7

the best thing is to wear your earrings all the time.
