I got my ear lobes pierced at a professional piercing place. They seemed to be healed around 6 weeks after I got them done so I started changing the earrings.
Everything was fine until recently where they've started to hurt and bleed. I've only worn silver earrings, not the fake silver earrings since I'm allergic to that and it will make my ear lobe swell up.
I'm aware this isn't normal, these are the second holes in my ears and I think there's some cartilage where they were pierced.
The first time I got my ears pierced was at a hairdressers (yuck) with a gun and I didn't have any of these problems.
I can't figure out why they haven't healed, I followed all the care stuff and they seemed to have healed but now they're causing issues.
Should I go back to cleaning them twice a day again and not touching them to avoid infection? Is this because of where they were pierced? I know cartilage piercings take longer to heal.
