have you ears being infected ?

I had a huge problem with my ears so I'll post this here in case it will help someone. My ears didn't heal for 3 years after I got them pierced. My first pair of earrings were stainless steel. My ears wouldn't heal. I put in 14K gold. My ears did not heal. I tried 18K gold. Nothing. Silver. Still nothing. My ears were in constant pain, constantly oozing out stuff. It was disgusting. I was about ready to give up, when I found 16 gauge glass nosescrews. I bought them for my ears because glass is very hypoallergenic. Immediately, my ears healed. In only about a week! The pain was gone, it was amazing. I couldn't find anything else in 16G easily so I stretched to 14 gauge and bought some Teflon earrings. And then I got acrylic, more glass, and some cool titanium earrings. And now I want to stretch even more because the more you stretch, the more earrings you can find in these wonderful hypoallergenic materials.

When I got my ears pierced, I did try to keep them clean... but I'm impatient ok! One of them got very mildly infected and because I'm a totally sissy the doctor gave me a short course of antibiotics (but I'm lucky with the NHS).Though it would probably have cleared up on its own if I had carried on the applying salt water and didn't pick at it!
