I'm not even wearing earrings

This happens to me as well just on the one ear 9strange). I had my cartlidge peirced a few years back, and I ended up having to take it out as it got infected then grew over. I have 3 holes on the bottom of each ear, and even if I have or not have earrings in it gets itchy, and infected sometimes more during the winter months.

I don't really know that this is the case, but I do tend to think that the reason that we are able to get infections in the holes in our ears when we are not wearing earrings is because of the fact that those holes in our ears are the perfect breeding place for bacteria. Think about it for just a second, first of all, they are holes and inside of them is warm and damp, that is exactly where we are taught that bacteria like to breed when we are taking high school biology classes.

Well, for many people they often have areas on their skin, and many times where their ears have been pierced that are quite sensitive to everything. I know for me due to being Diabetic my skin is very sensitive so infections are common. I wonder if yours could be from not wearing earrings all the time that does this?

I dont have my earring holes get infected but a lot of times I will get pimples or cysts in my ears. They can hurt pretty badly. If I get them then I dont put earrings in as I think it would just irritate my ear holes worse. I have two ear piercings in my ears so if one hole bothers me I can put it in the other one.

It also happens before when I am wearing some fancy earrings. But I know some friends who also wear similar kind of earrings but they don't get infected. They told me I am drinking too much coke so as per advise, I stopped drinking that kind of drink, now I can wear anything. But if said that you are not wearing anything maybe you should consult a dermatologist to address your problem.

Yes, this does sound odd to me. I have 7 piercings in my ears and none of them get EVER get infected when I'm not wearing earrings, but if I'm WEARING earrings, well, then that is a different story. I have to wear really good earrings, because the fake ones don't do it for me. If I DO wear some cheap earrings and my piercings get infected, usually witch hazel will clear it up in a couple of days.

Well, nope sure do not seem to have that problem. Maybe for you your ears are sensitive and because of that it causes problems with where it has first been punctured into. On a side note I am so mad right now, fries no more. I'll message you about it.

That's actually no surprise to me. Many people are allergic to certain metals- most commonly zinc. Rather predictably, gold is the metal that people are least affected by- and, of course, is the more expensive

Am a guy and I don't wear ear rings neither do I have piercings at any other part of my body, but I can give you some advice, ensure you buy genuine jewelries and also see a doctor concerning this little issue you are having. I bet one or two visits to the doctor's office would do the trick.

:) I haven't wearing earrings.I don't think it's cool.And my school rules doesn's allow wearing earrings. P.S:I can't speak English very well. ^-^
