Gang I did a silly and need help- (kinda srs kinda not-) (Maybe TW?)

Disclosure: We got the earring back out. I just need to know what we do next.
So, last night, I was taking my shower, and I was trying to take out my earrings so I could wear different ones bc I needed to clean the ones I was wearing.And I get the earrings out fine, I but it kinda hurt. I assumed I put them on too tight the day before. After a bit of work bc I have rlly short nails (see last advice post- ), and I get the earring, but I thought I dropped the backing. So I’m looking for it, and I’m just like fuck it, I’ll get a different one. This bitch is lost.
Something catches my eye in the mirror, because my ear still looked like it had something on it. It was the fucking rubber backing. It had just barely gotten stuck in my piercing.
DISCLOSURE 2: my piercings never fully close. They’re kind of always open. They’re healthy, but my mom’s do the same. It’s genetic. What we think happened was that my ear got irritated somehow, and it caused the piercing hole to wrap around the backing.
However, it’s a bit bloody because it was irritated (ear-itated, get it? Haha I’m so funny.) And it’s going to be a bitch to get an earring back in there right now because it still hurts.
I’m currently cleaning with either a saline solution, or warm soapy water.
HelP-

In all seriousness, I hope your ear gets better! Irritated ears are the worst when it comes to earrings

Errrmmmm… I have no Idea, But, I found a bit of resources online to help you. And a bit of my advice. 🫠Continue cleaning with saline solution or warm soapy water
Use Mild soap and warm water. That can help clean the area. Make sure to rinse the area thoroughly aswell too.
After rinsing, Apply an antibiotic ointment.
It helps to prevent infection, You can also use gentle ointment like Neosporin or Bacitracin. I don’t know- Bare with me here
Avoid putting an earring in for now
Give your ear some time to heal for now. Because, Putting an earring in too soon can cause further irritation In your ear (And we don’t want that shii 💀) .
Try to find any signs of Infection
Keep an eye on the area for signs of infection, such as increased redness, swelling, etc. ALLSO, If you notice any of the following things on here, consider seeing a doctor?
After all of that, You’re Gunna have to take a break from putting your earring In your ear. Or Any earrings In your ear at all for now.

that makes sense
-
@Your_Local_Sun_Or_Milo It’s a genetic thing on my mom’s side of the family. her ears (stretched/gauged pretty small) also do that.
