    Sounds like it is infected. Have you been sticking to the aftercare instructions?

    I have the same thing happening to my ear. Its just infected. You need to clean it everyday about 3 times a day. Morning, afternoon, and night. When you take the earring out and put it back in make sure to clean every single part of it.
