1. Remove the earring now.

2. Thoroughly wash the affected area with soap and warm water.

3. Dab it with alcohol on a cotton ball. This will burn slightly, but only for a few moments.

4. Apply neosporin as the package directs.

Give it 24-36 hours to show signs of improvement. If it doesn't improve, or if it gets even the slightest bit worse, see a doctor for antibiotics.

I had my ears pierced in December and the same thing happened. I followed the above steps and my ears healed just fine, but you can never be too careful. See a doctor if you don't notice improvement in the time frame given, and sooner if you wish. It certainly wouldn't hurt.
