Hi the earring that was used to pierce my ear (the thick pointed studs in the gun) is giving me a reaction. it was done over a week ago my ear is fine in its self no pain,no blood no nothing but i have a rash around the pierceing. i went to docs and he said its healing real quick and its not infected but it seems the sergical steel is agrovating my skin. so he suggested i get a gold earing and replace it. he said as long as i disinfect new earring and keep everything clean there will be minimal chance of infection. But if i leave my starter stud in it could turn nasty :(

i have a 9ct gold diamond earring which i bought to replace it will this be fine?

I noticed the post is thinner than the earring ive been pierced with. will this cause the hole to heal smaller and make it more difficult to get earrings in and out?

thanks for any advice
the stud i have in at present is surgical steel……….im looking at replaceing it with 9ct gold thanks
