text: You can use any type of triple antibiotic ointment with pain reliever to coat your ear lobe and the post of the earring, then push the post back through the skin.   A generic store brand ointment is just as good as a name brand.  After you get the earring back in, soak a cotton ball with rubbing alcohol and drip it on your ear piercing as you spin the earring around and around.  Use the alcohol and spinning your earring method two times a day for about 10 days.  Alcohol will burn but will kill any infection and also cause the pierced skin to scar, which will help it not to grow closed anymore. Also, do not remove your earring from a new piercing for the 10 day period.
