It sounds like you had an allergic reaction to the metal. Frequently, the ear will become swollen and red and exhibit signs of being infected when there is an allergic reaction. It could also be an infection. In the case of an infection, remove the earrings and treat it with Neosporin. Your best course of action overall is to see your doctor. They will know better than someone answering a question online. When you've just had your ears pieced, your ears can be quite tender and bleed bit. Youre ear probably just got a bt sore. It is probably not an allergic reaction to the metal because i have had that and your hole starts to go black and it doesn't bleed. It's probably just sore. use some special ear wipes to gently sooth the hole. it will probably get better. if the blood is too heavy and it really does get swollen then go and see your docter

How do you tell if your ears are infected?
To tell, your ears will be swelling red,hot to touch and you'd earring will be digging in your ear. Also,your ears will be bleeding and puss may come out. If your ears have a bump, don't worry, it's not an infection. It will probably be because that you are allergic to the earrings that you are wearing. If you are still worried, I suggest that you go to a doctor to get your ears checked.

What do infected ears look like?
An earring infection can't be fully seen, as it is often inside the ear, where the earring post goes through. However, the ear lobe often goes red, and swollen, pus and gunk keeps building up and has to be removed resulting in a lot of pain. I've had an earring infection myself and its not nice!
How do you remove an embedded backing of an earring inside your earlobe?
Ice the front and back of the ear lobe to reduce the swelling which will allow the removal of the back of the earring. If this does not enable removal, then the skin may have grown around the backing and removal under local anesthesia may be required by a physician.

If your pierced hole is bleeding should you take out the earring?
Since i did my ears myself, my piercing holes were very tender and bleed if I irritated the earring. Anyways, if you take out your earring, it is likely that the hole will close up, so NO, do not take it out. I didn't, and now my ears are all healed and healthy. Just make sure you clean it with salt water [no hydrogen peroxide or alcohol].
