Wearing Cheap Earrings


Bronze Post Medal for All Time! 170 Posts

I used to have to wear only gold or silver earrings. I have some costume earrings that are very pretty. When I try and wear them, my ear lobes end up getting red and sore. I have to treat them by rubbing them with antibiotic cream. One day I thought, why not treat the earring post with the antibiotic cream and then put them in my earlobes.

I coated the earring post with the antibiotic cream and then put them in. I was able to wear them all the day with no problem, soreness, or red earlobes. Now I am able to wear any earrings I want with no problems. Try this, it really worked great for me.

Thank you so much for the great tip. I'm going to try it as I find the same problem with costume jewelry and I've been avoiding wearing some pretty earrings.

What was the cream you used? Because I have only used methylated spirits. I have really sensitive ears and can't wear anything but expensive earrings.

But would love to beable to go and buy any earings and not have to check if they are sterling silver.

Dorothy, I will try your suggestion. Thanks.... I guess I'm slow or, it just might be my time to try wearing earrings again. I have not worn earrings for around 40 years! Wish me luck! If you want, please contact me.

I know this comment is really late, but I always coat mine in two coatings of nail polish and it works really well. You'll have to reapply every couple weeks b/c the nail polish wears off. And make sure you cover all the metal. The antibiotic ointment doesn't work for me either.

It's not a bacterial infection that makes the ears red, swollen, and irritated. It's a reaction to the nickle in the earring posts. Vaseline works just as well.
