Keep your piercing holes clean. Plain old soap and water is fine, alcohol, or the cleansing solutions they sell at piercing shops are good to use. If you have been using a specific cleansing solution and continue to get infections, you may be using something you're allergic to. Change to alcohol or soap and water. Wash the holes daily and keep the earrings clean as well, washing the posts and backs w/alcohol and a Q-tip or cotton ball. You may allergic to the material used to make certain earrings. Nickel, cadmium, etc. Different metals are used in different jewelry. Try wearing only real gold or only sterling silver, not cheaply made earrings. They make hypo-allergenic earrings for people w/sensitive piercing sites. Let the infection clear up before attempting to wear earrings or the area likely will not heal up as quickly or effectively. Go several days w/o earrings while keeping the holes cleaned and dry. If the area is badly infected, you need to see a doctor. Angie RN
