Before my DS was born I wore pierced earrings more or less every day with no problems at all. After he was born I didn't even try to wear earrings for about 6 months and every time I have tried since then to wear earrings either one or both ears has gone manky and gunky and I've had to take out the earrings before the end of the day and then had hot infected earlobs for a couple of days after (always cleared up by itself though).
This week I have tried cleaning some plain gold earrings, then soaking them in Milton and then in TCP (after rinsing off the Milton) and then putting them in my ears, but although it was much longer before my ears got painful, they were still both gunky by the end of the day and I have hot infected earlobes again today. :(
Any suggestions for how get past this so I can wear pierced earrings again? We have a wedding at the weekend and I'd really like to be able to wear my favourites :)
Thanks!
